<p>Tezata Desalgn, a 30-year old from Turkey, is the women's race winner at the 2011 Marine Corps Marathon on Sunday. Desalgn crossed the finish line with an unofficial time of 2 hours, 45 minutes and 28 seconds, giving Turkey its first victory in the event.</p>
<p>Desalgn's time was faster than many women who won the race in the past, but was not as fast as the time Janet Cherobon, who won last year's event, posted. Cherobon posted a time of 2 hours, 39 minutes and 19 seconds last year. Still, Desalgn will take the victory.</p>
<p>Desalgn's win means that a non-American will win the women's division for the third straight year. Ethiopian Muliye Gurme won the event in 2009, and Cherobon won last year. Cate Fenster was the last American to win in 2008, and Kristen Henehan, who won in 2007, was the last local product to win.</p>

<p>The results for the 2011 Marine Corps Marathon are in, and this year's winner is an Illinois man name Chad Ware. Ware took the victory, posting an unofficial time of 2 hours, 19 minutes and 16 seconds. The time was a personal best.</p>
<p>Ware is a first lieutenant in the United States army, so he continues the tradition of military personnel winning the event. Last year, it was Air Force lieutenant Jacob Bradosky who took home the victory. Ware' time was over four minutes faster than Bradosky, who finished with a time of 2 hours, 23 minutes and 30 seconds last year.</p>
<p>Ware was in the lead early in the race before falling back at the 12th mile. However, he surged ahead as the race went around the Capitol building and held it as he came in for the finish.</p>

<p>Washington D.C. will host a huge undertaking this weekend as 30,000 runners from all 50 states and 54 countries will converge on the nation's capitol to take place in the 36th Annual Marine Core Marathon beginning at 8 a.m. Sunday morning.</p>
<p>The marathon itself is just one of the many events that will be taking place this weekend, as eight events in total are scheduled to stretch from as early as Thursday to the race finish on mid Sunday. The first event on Thursday was centered around Health and Fitness, and allowed over 100,000 visitors and participants the opportunity to learn from experts in the running industy. The second event, a pep rally for the marathon's estimated 11,000 first-timers took place on Friday night.</p>
<p>The main stress of the event schedule is of course running though, and beginning at 9:30 Saturday morning, kid's aged 5-12 will take on a mile run as part of the Healthy Kids Fun Run. Following the Kids Run is a panel called the MCM Runners Conference, offering advice about the race itself, to women and to first timers. Saturday night is capped off with the Carbo Dining-In pasta dinner for runners and their families.</p>
<p>Early on Sunday morning, 10,000 participants will run in a prelude to the main event, a 6.2-mile (10K) run at the National Mall. Then at 8 a.m. the main event ensues as the race will begin, live on Comcast SportsNet. After the event has concluded, runners and spectators alike will then visit the MCM Finish Festival for post-race hospitality and prizes.</p>

<p>Registration begins at noon Wednesday for the 36th Marine Corps Marathon. <a href="http://static.active.com/mcm/static/mcm-splash-not-open.html">Click here</a> for the Marine Corps Marathon website where you can register for the race.</p>
<p>It will be the 36th running of the marathon, and it will be held on Oct. 30. Today seems like a weird day, right? <a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/early-lead/2011/02/marine_corps_marathon_2011_ent.html">According to Cindy Boren of the Washington Post</a>, there is a good reason for that.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>(If you're wondering why today is the entry day, it's the anniversary of the flag raisings during World War II's Battle of Iwo Jima.)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Makes sense. The race starts in Arlington, and heads as far north as the National Mall before returning to the other side of the river. Last year it was won by Jacob Bradosky, a Second Lieutenant in the Air Force, who finished with a time of 2:32:30.</p>
<p>We'll be updating this StoryStream right up until, and through, the race in October with all the important news and information you need to know.</p>
