Four Runners Slated to Finish 30th Chevron Houston Marathon

When Gene Wilson, James Tuscany, Richard Evans and Steve Boone cross the finish line of this month's 45th annual Chevron Houston Marathon, they will do so knowing that they'll never have to pay the run the race ever again.

It is a perk that they'll earn when the quartet will join 33 other runners who have already finished 30 or more Chevron Houston Marathons.

Twenty-six of those 33 Legacy marathoners, according to the confirmation search feature on the Chevron Houston Marathon website, will join the aforementioned four on the marathon course on Sunday, January 15, 2017.

One runner, Houston's Rich McMahan, is slated to join fellow Houstonian and inaugural Houston Marathon Hall of Fame inductee Jack Lippincott to finish 40 or more Chevron Houston Marathons.

Lippincott has finished 42 Houston Marathons, dating back to 1976.

Another four -- Ray Boytim, Louis Waddell, Richard Rekieta and Paul Roche - are registered to run the Aramco Houston Half Marathon.
