"&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=\"font-size:14.666666984558105px\"&gt;The Seattle Marathon began modestly in 1970 when a group of friends from the University of Washington decided to hold their own running event. 38 runners started the first annual event, with 31 of them completing the full 26.2 miles. From these modest beginnings the Seattle Marathon Family of Events has risen to become one of the largest and most influential mass-participation runs on the West Coast, being ranked by Runners World Magazine as one of the top 20 marathons in the United States. In 1999, a Seattle Kids Marathon was added, which allows children of all ages to run a \"full marathon\" one mile at a time. 357 children participated the first year, and the event has grown to 2,300 in 2012. Through the years, Seattle Marathon runners have donated their money to the marathon's designated charities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
