City Run champ wins marathon

The Rodes City Run was just a workout for James Mutuse.

Less than 24 hours after easily winning that 10-kilometer race in downtown Louisville on Saturday, the Richmond, Ky., resident ran the Covenant Health Marathon in Knoxville, Tenn., on Sunday and won that, too.

Mutuse, who had finished 51 seconds ahead in the City Run, completed the 26.2-mile course through Knoxville in 2:33:06.6. He beat 540 other runners and won by more than eight minutes.

The Covenant Health event also included a 5K, a half-marathon and a marathon relay.
