A dozen local runners have a special feeling of accomplishment after they finished Monday's 26.2-mile Boston Marathon.

Among them was Cynthia Kuhn, 53, of Waterford. Erie News Now shared her story Monday.

Kuhn said this race is in recognition of her 20-year anniversary since her first brain tumor in 2004.

Last year, she ran the marathon in just under 3.5 hours.

This time, she finished in 3 hours, 39 minutes.
