Runner Proposes to Girlfriend After Marathon

Although Camacho and Cruz met in middle school they just reunited last December

After Gilbert Camacho finished the Rock and Roll marathon Sunday he decided to go the long haul and propose to his girlfriend Stacie Cruz.

He clocked a personal best for the race and used the extra confidence to pop the question.

Camacho's friends said he was nervous, not only to propose, but also because he had just recovered from an injury.

In front of family and friends – and marathon finishers – Camacho asked the girl he’d known since middle school to be his wife.

"Spectators all stopped to cheer and congratulate [them]," Camacho's friend Thomas Hawkes said. "We all celebrated afterwards at the Gaslamp. We could not be more excited for them, and we look forward to seeing their love flourish."

Although Camacho and Cruz met in school they just reunited in December.
