Sunday is the 27th Annual Philadelphia Marathon, which attracts thousands of runners from around the country and the world to compete in one of the top 10 marathon courses in the nation. Right here in the Lehigh Valley, a 16-year-old from Emmaus High School will be participating in his very first marathon.
Ansh Malik was inspired to follow in the footsteps of his father, Vikas Malik, who himself ran three Philadelphia Marathons. WDIY's Rayna Malhotra prepared this feature.
