HARRISBURG — An Amish man turned heads as he whizzed by fellow runners at a recent marathon — not because of his speed but because of his unusual racing attire.

Twenty-two-year-old Leroy Stolzfus finished the 26.2-mile Harrisburg Marathon on Nov. 8 in just over three hours and five minutes, all while wearing his community’s traditional clothing.

Stolzfus said he’s used to running in slacks and suspenders, and he believes he would have run closer to a three-hour marathon if he hadn’t started out so fast. He wore sneakers.
