Airmen compete in U.S. Air Force Marathon from deployed location
SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Mike Bowman gets cheered on from the sidelines as he finishes first place in the 13.1-mile "half-marathon" held at the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing today with a time of 1:26:10. The winner is a Boston Marathon qualifier and hopes to qualify for other named marathons as well. This event is an official extension of the U.S. Air Force Marathon that was held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, Sept. 20. Extensions of the marathon allow deployed Airmen to compete as long as they are registered and the event follows official rules. Extensions must be held within 10 days of the actual marathon.
