Watch this runner's emotional reaction to a memorable finish at the New York Marathon
Completing the New York City Marathon is a badge of honor for many avid runners, and Kayleigh Williamson is wearing that badge with pride.
The 33-year-old from Austin, Texas, became one of the few women with Down syndrome to complete the grueling race when she finished the 26.2 miles in 10 hours and 9 minutes.
Williamson is no stranger to long-distance running, having previously taken part in the Boston Marathon and 20 half-marathons. However, the New York event was special, as she ran in honor of her late grandmother, who helped inspire her passion for running.
Watch the video above to see Williamson's emotional reaction when she finishes the race.
