A Belmont woman who won the World Marathon Challenge was honored on Thursday with a parade in her hometown.
Becca Pizzi was the first American woman to complete seven marathons in seven days on seven continents.
"It was so exciting. I was on my feet. It was just everything I dreamed of as well," Pizzi said.
Along with the parade, the town officially declared Feb. 4 to be "Becca Pizzi Day" in Belmont.

Pizzi said the most difficult part of the challenge was being away from her daughter.
