8,000 runners that took part in the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. 

Kenyan native Peter Omae Ayieni won the men’s Marathon in 2 hours, 26 minutes, 16 seconds.  But because of high winds, Ayieni’s time was far off the course record of 2:15:15 set last year by James Boit. 

Boit, who is also a Kenyan native, finished second with a time of 2:27:42 on Sunday.

Verona native Katie Howery won the women’s race in 2 hours, 47 minutes and 12 seconds.  Howery was running just her second career marathon.  She won the Fox Cities Marathon in her first race last September. 

Howery took home $3,000 for first place, but failed to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in January.  She missed the qualifying time by 1 minute and 12 seconds.
