Covid-19 has impacted many events, including the Boston Marathon, which was postponed then cancelled for 2020.
But Douglas resident Allie Oban, completed the virtual Boston Marathon in and around Douglas this past Sunday.
Oban had previously qualified for the prestigious race but wasn't able to compete this year due to the cancellation.
The virtual race was set up by the Boston Athletics Association.
Because virtual participants were at different elevations all over the world, the race this year was not competitive, but a "fun run," according to Oban.
The local course was chosen by Oban, and her offical Garmin time will be submitted to the BAA, who will send her a certificate, t-shirt, and medal.
Oban says the support of her family, friends, and the community was key.
Her official time for the 26.2 mile course was 3 hours, 8 minutes and 44 seconds. 091520

The Douglas LadyCats volleyball team opens their season at home this weekend... here's our interview with LadyCats head coach Angela Rhoades... 082720
The Wyoming American Legion Baseball board is opening an investigation into a bat used during the Legion A State Baseball Tournament in Powell last month.
The bat became the source of controversy, especially on social media, after Douglas Cats coach Zach Andrews pointed out its use by the Cody Cubs during the Douglas-Cody game at the state tournament.
State Chairman Cody Beers recently released a statement that said State Board members were unaware of the issues surrounding the Louisville Meta 33-inch, 30-ounce bat that had been decertified by the NCAA and NFHS.
Beers said State officials became aware of the 33-30 Louisville Meta bat from a coach not involved in the Cody-Douglas game during the State A Tournament in Powell, and Beers subsequently removed the bat from the Cody Cubs team, and from further competition in the A state tournament.
Now the Board, the State American Legion Commander, and State American Legion Adjutant are discussing the issues involving this Louisville Meta bat and its impact on the ‘integrity of Wyoming baseball.’
There is a possibility after the review that sanctions or penalties could be imposed. 082020
