Costa is no rookie to the marathon. Last year ended his 4th straight reign when American Nicholas Hilton pulled off an upset. Costa has now won 5 of the 6 last Walt Disney World Marathons.
Martins has won four of the last five events in Walt Disney World. Canadian Natasha Yaremczuk won in 2016 stopping her from a streak of five straight.
Hilton and Costa paced the field on the men’s side Sunday. Hilton (2:21:48) was the only competitor within five minutes of Costa, whose winning time was 2:18:45. Brazilian Jose Lima, American Jacob Krolick, and Brazilian Luis Barboza rounded out the top five.
Congratulations to all of the runners over the weekend! I loved seeing all of the pictures of social media!
