Jon Shoop, a triathlete from Reno, wins Rock-N-River marathon in his hometown.
There was no victory dinner, celebration champagne or even a family gathering for the winner of Sunday’s marathon.
Reno’s Jon Shoop, who completed the 26.2-mile course in 2 hours, 43 minutes, 6.2 seconds, planned to follow his winning run at Sunday’s Rock-N-River marathon with a bike ride.
“It felt really good to get out there and win it,” Shoop said.
Shoop, who is also a triathlete, had hoped to run faster.
The 24-year old also won the marathon in 2009 and was second last year to Sean Stafford.
