Tarzan came in first and John came in second. He ran the race his first time in 1929, sixty-six years before the day Cosmas Kitavi Ndeti won his third straight medallion. If you go to the marathon you will see all the spectators giving oranges, water and sponges to the runners. I'm sure that has made John and many other runners happy many times. To keep the people that are watching John and all of the other runners busy, people sell food, like popcorn, soda, cookies, brownies, candy, and many other things.
People bring all kinds of neat things, like tents.
If you are lucky you may catch my teacher giving out homework. Sometimes the runners wear really cool costumes. He wore a spotted shirt, spotted pants, and Dalmatian ears. There were three guys dressed as the Marx Brothers they wore little rounded hats and suits. People will throw big parties during the marathon, and they will eat and watch.
