 Summer has arrived and Appalachian Wireless has a great sell on the world's hottest smartphone from now to the end of the month. You can get the amazing iPhone 13 for more than half off because we are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. The 23rd annual Hatfield McCoy Marathon was held in South Williamson on Saturday June 11th. The marathon, Half Marathons and 5K all ran through both Kentucky and West Virginia. Despite having a smaller than usual turnout, many people gathered to race. The race has been good. I know numbers are not like it has been in the past. The economy has been crazy here in the past few months. But hey, people came from 40 states, three countries were happy about that. So they wanted to come here and celebrate with us on the Half of McCoy Marathon Day. The race is steeped in history and runs through a few Hatfield McCoy historical sites. This race, Half of McCoy Marathon, like the marathon itself, it's the longest running race in Kentucky itself for years and also in West Virginia. We're proud of that. I mean, the tradition here, the history of the race, coming through two states, Kentucky and West Virginia, the historic few sites. You know, everybody working together, the communities, the volunteers. There's a lot of volunteer students. There's over 500, 400 volunteer. Awards were given out to participants as they crossed the finish line. Fruit, water and ice towels were also handed out to racers as they finished their races. Despite rainy weather, many people persevered and crossed the finish line. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.
