Approximately 8,000 registered runners from age 12 to 83 took to the streets this weekend to participate in the 18th running of the Humana Rock ‘n’ Roll Virginia Beach Half Marathon.  The best-in-class running event kicked off on Saturday morning with a 5K and Mile on the Sand. The half marathon took place Sunday, with runners from 46 states and 17 countries getting a first-class tour of Virginia Beach.   In the half marathon, Mike Morgan (Rochester Hills, Michigan) won the race with his first-place effort clocking a time of 1:08:47. Will Christian (Chesapeake, Virginia) was second with a time of 1:09:28. Michael Bailey (Chesapeake, Virginia) followed in third place finishing in 1:11:19.
