A full, soldout field ran the 35th JetBlue Long Beach Marathon and Half Marathon, Sunday, ranging from serious runners to weekend warriors to a whole lot of people lining the course to cheer them on.

The marathon itself was won by Nate Clayson of Utah on the men’s side, with a time of 2:28.57 and Nina Zarina, of Los Angeles, who won the women’s portion with a time of 2:45:08.

But, of course, for many (most) of the participants and the people who “Woo!” them on, that’s all beside the point. What’s most important is just doing the thing.

Woo!
