Beachwood Has Strong Showing at Rite-Aid Marathon

Beachwood residents made up only 60 of the more than 18,000 runners who participated in the Rite-Aid Cleveland Marathon races, but four finished in the top 10 in their divisions in the full marathon race.

Beachwood's most junior runner was 12-year-old Kayla Rush, who finished 10th in her division, and the city's least junior runner was Lee Pressman, a 78-year-old man who finished ninth in his division.

Of note, 14-year-old Maya Rush came in just one second after Kayla Rush, finishing 11th in her division.

Jacqueline Mclemore finished fourth in her division; Pilar Laachwani finished ninth in her division.

The number includes people who ran or walked one of the marathon, half-marathon, 10K or 5K events offered during the weekend. This year, 18,269 participated in the races, a record in the Cleveland Marathon's 34-year history, according to its website.
