Jan 17, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Nearly 30,000 participants took part in Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon, which is sponsored by P. F. Chang’s China Bistro on Sunday. The streets of three cities of Arizona, namely, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe were overcrowded with anxious spectators who thronged on the streets to cheer for their favorite participants and see who wins the race at the end of the day. Josh Cox won the men’s race and Sally Meyerhoff was the female participant to win the Marathon.
The spectators were cheering for Josh Cox as he started his journey. Josh Cox completed his journey of 31.2 miles in only 2 hours, 43 minutes, 45 seconds.
