Race organizers expect nearly 10,000 people from all over the country to run in the Martian Marathon and half marathon being held on Saturday. For many runners, the marathon isn't about competition. It's about achieving a personal goal. Racers have many different expectations. Some just hope they're able to finish. Others hope to put up a good enough time to qualify for the prize money.
