Shot Alexandria Police Officer Honored at GW Parkway Classic Race

Thousands of runners competed Sunday in the George Washington Parkway Classic 10 Mile and 5K, honoring an Alexandria police officer as well as the victims of the bombings at last week's Boston Marathon.

The race took place less than a week after the Boston marathon bombings, and many runners wore blue and yellow ribbons, the colors of the race, in remembrance of the victims. This year's Parkway Classic also honored Alexandria Police Officer Peter Laboy, who was shot during a traffic stop in Old Town in February and is now recovering. Local police took donations for Laboy, who is recuperating.

Race organizers were strict about security in light of the bombings at the Boston Marathon, sealing trash cans and checking bags. 

In all, 4,839 runners completed the 10-mile race, which began at Mount Vernon and ended at Oronoco Bay Park.

Seth Hutchinson, 29, of Charlottesville won the 10-mile race with a time of 50:56. Shannon Miller, 28, of Arlington was the first overall female with a time of 1:01:05. 

John Schroeder, 25, of Washington, D.C. won the 5K with a time of 16:32. Claire Hallisey of Arlington came in second place and was the first female finisher with a time of 17:40.
