For many, that level happens once every four years when either the Summer or Winter Olympics are held.
Most residents in Davis County were able to somewhat have that level of competition last Saturday, when they competed in the Olympic and world record certified course at Antelope Island for the Layton Marathon.
Events for the marathon included the half and full marathons, along with a 10 and 5 Kilometer race in age categories ranging from 10-14 all the way up to 80 years and older.
Categories were also separated by male and female competitors.
Taking first place in the 19-24 male full marathon category was Quenton Jones of Kaysville, who ran a time of 3:19:38.2, just under eight seconds better than second place.
Devin Healey of Bountiful took home top honors in the 30-34 age group, finishing the full marathon in 03:08:36.9, almost 12 seconds ahead of Mikal Epperson of Salt Lake City.
The next winner in the male category from Davis County was Nathan Skinner of Syracuse, who won in the 35-39 age group with a time of 03:23:10.2.
His time was less than one second ahead of the second place finisher.
Audra Zdunich of Layton was one of the few winners in any female age group from Davis County.
In the female 40-44 group, her time of 03:51:38.9 was 23 seconds better than second place finisher Teresa Winegar of Clearfield, and 32 seconds better than Julie Maurer, who placed third and is from West Point.
Lisa Wise of Layton took home top honors in the 50-54 group with a time of 04:01:33.1, 16 seconds in front of second place.
Many other local competitors from the area also finished in the top five for their respective categories.
