A Brazilian runner won the 2012 Walt Disney World Marathon this week in a pair of running shoes made by El Paso-based Spira Footwear, the company reported.
Fredison Costa of Brazil edged out fellow Brazilian and seven-time time champion, Adriano Bastos, to win the race for the second straight year.

Costa finished the race in 2 hours and 19 minutes -- 14 seconds faster than Bastos.

The 19th annual marathon attracted more than 16,000 runners, according to Florida media reports. The runners ran through four Disney theme parks in Orlando.
