The Marine Corps Marathon is the largest race of its kind that doesn't offer a cash prize. But for some of the runners, just being able to compete despite tremendous physical adversity is the best prize they could receive. Just ask Team Hope for the Warriors, a group of Marines who may pass you by in Sunday's race.

The race is the next step in an amazing journey for the group, who were injured at war.

More than 10 people are going to be doing the marathon on Sunday as part of the team, and nine of them were injured in Iraq. One Marine is doing it without any legs and without his sight.

FOX 5's Jessica Weinstein has the inspiring story of Team Hope for the Warriors.
