Honolulu Marathon Expo 2008 Print E-mail
Written by Ramsay Wharton - rwharton@kgmb9.com

The Honolulu Marathon generates more than $100 million in revenues to the state with more than 20,000 participants. The marathon expo kicks off Wednesday at the Hawaii Convention Center, which leads up to Sunday's big race.


  Ramsay talks to Frank Shorter, the 1972 Olympic Gold medalist in the marathon. He's the only American male to win the medal in the span of a hundred years.
     
  Ramsay talks to Honolulu Marathon's co-race director, Ken MacDowell, and Gladys Burrill, a 90-year-old marathoner attempting to set a world record in the 90-94 age group.
