Sunday's White Rock was the 51st marathon that 51-year-old Rick Roeber has run. It was the 33rd consecutive marathon that Roeber has run barefoot.
"I was hoping for a little more rain," he said. "I like to play in the puddles."
Roeber, who attended Arlington Sam Houston High School and now lives in Lee's Summit, Mo., finished in 3:49:08. But he was more concerned about a cause than his time.
Roeber was running to help raise funds and awareness for Free Wheelchair Mission, a nonprofit organization that provides wheelchairs for people in Third World countries.
