PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A local man may be exhausted before he even begins this Sunday’s Pittsburgh Marathon.

That’s because Wayne Kurtz of Wexford is running on a treadmill for the 48 hours leading up to the start of the marathon.

“It’s going to be grim,” Kurtz says. “We’ll just get through it. I’ve done a lot of long things before. We’ll survive.”
