Runners are flocking to the 2013 Sedona Marathon.

With only two weeks left before the Sedona Marathon on Saturday, Feb. 2, the Sedona Chamber of Commerce is finalizing last- minute preparations and reporting big numbers for the eighth annual event. The Sedona Marathon will offer participants a 5K run, a 10K run, and full and half marathons. Sedona Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Jennifer Wesselhoff said the event has grown more than 20 percent when compared to last year.

“We are tracking to possibly sell out the event,” Wesselhoff said. “Last year we had 20 percent growth over the previous year, so things are shaping up.”
