THE HOAG OC MARATHON RUNNING FESTIVAL

After thousands of people ran the Hoag OC Marathon course on Sunday, they were celebrated with live music and fun at the finish line at the OC Fair & Event Center.

It was a big weekend for runners with the annual marathon, as well as a half marathon, 5K and fun run for kids, and all for a good cause. Race director Gary Kutscher said the event has raised more than $9 million for charities over the last 20 years.

Jason Yang of San Pedro captured the men’s marathon title, running it in 2:25:11. Gabriella Smith, 26, from Virginia, was the first woman across the finish line, making it in 3:05:30.
