Paul Hollidge, 48, got down on one knee after crossing the finish line with Deborah Cubberly, 42, in just over four hours. But it wasn’t from exhaustion.
Cubberly accepted the ring tearfully, and Hollidge pumped his fist as spectators cheered.
“We always run together,” Cubberly said.

11:20 a.m. FRIDAY: Clearer skies and fair temperatures forecast for Little Rock Marathon
The morning will start out cool, about 40 degrees at sunrise, and rise into the upper 50s as the day goes on, according to Michael Brown, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in North Little Rock.
The start time for the Little Rock Marathon and half marathon is 7 a.m.
The chance of rain before noon is about 20 percent, Brown said, but precipitation is more likely after the finish line closes at 3:30 p.m.
"I wouldn't be too surprised to see a few showers, maybe at the end of it," he added.
Runners in the 5K and 10K runs Saturday will race under clear skies, with temperatures reaching the 50s during the day, Brown said.
