The biggest problem was getting through traffic after the crash on I-70 westbound just before the marathon began Sunday morning, race director Rachel Ridgway said.

The single-car crash occurred near the exit to Md. 144 about 6:15 a.m., according to Maryland State Police in Frederick . Drivers on their way to the marathon starting line at the Frederick Fairgrounds got stuck in the resulting traffic snarl.

The 18-year-old driver, whose name police did not release, lost control of the Mercury Tracer she was driving and overturned into a bush, police said. She had two passengers, ages 17 and 18, whose names were not released.

Police said the three teenagers did not receive life-threatening injuries.

The crash slowed the already slow-moving traffic. Frederick Police Chief Kim Dine said congested roads were expected, considering thousands of people came to Frederick for the event.

A total of 900 people finished the marathon and 1,900 finished the half-marathon, Ridgway said.

More than 5,000 runners registered, she said, but many might have dropped out of the events for a number of reasons, including injuries before or during the races.

Aside from traffic, there were no major glitches, Ridgway said. She believes the marathon's revamped course and relocated venue improved the event.

Last year's marathon started and ended at Harry Grove Stadium and runners had to be shuttled from several parking areas.

"We had ample parking this year," Ridgway said.

All activities were held at the Frederick Fairgrounds on East Patrick Street, which provided more than 4,000 parking spaces.

Ridgway believes the course, which city officials and event planners debated, is a keeper. She does not predict any changes to the route that took runners past city landmarks and along some county roads, including Spring Ridge Parkway and Quinn Road.

Officials will re-evaluate the marathon's course and determine whether any changes need to be made, Dine said. He commends the many different agencies who worked together to make the event possible.

"We're just really proud at what we've accomplished," Ridgway said.
