    ARLINGTON, Va. - The Army Ten-Miler is the third largest road race in the world. Started in 1985, it attracts 30,000 runners, half of them currently serving in the US armed forces, and is supported by 1,200 military personnel.

    Leading off the 28th Annual Army Ten-Miler at the Fitness Expo was Command Sgt. Maj. David Turnbull and Col. James C. Markert, regimental commander of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard.) In attendance were members of the Army Marksmanship Unit, recently back from competing at the 2012 Olympic Games.

    Shotgun shooter Staff Sgt. Josh Richmond competed in the Double Trap event, Sgt. Vince Hancock successfully defended his 2008 Gold medal by taking Gold again in Skeet, and Sgt. 1st Class Josh Olson competed in the mixed 50m Rifle Prone and mixed 10m Air Rifle Prone at the Paralympic Games.
