Adriano Bastos has won the race for six years in a row, but this year fellow Brazilian Fredison Costa, 33, finished with a more than comfortable lead. He knocked out the defending champ by a margin of more than six minutes. He completed the marathon in 2 hours, 21 minutes, 15 seconds.
The United States finished with an impressive second place finish. Second place went to Michael Wardian of Arlington, Virginia with 2:27:39, and Orlando's Paul Nielsen finished third with 2:31:44. In the Disney Marathon this year, Bastos only placed 15th with 2:45:09, which is still impressive, but after six years of winning, he probably needed to slow down.US News Paper
