PHOENIX - 25,000 turned out for the P.F Chang Rock 'n' Roll Marathon on Sunday.
Runners from all over the nation gathered in Phoenix and Tempe to complete the half and full marathon.
Julie Weiss planned on running 26 miles. She said she plans on running a marathon every week in memory of her father and others who died from pancreatic cancer.
"It is just really important for me to do this. I'm raising money to help with research. So far I've raised $136,000 to go to research," said Weiss.
This is the 10th anniversary of the marathon.
