    There are 10 people from Columbia and looks like the only Lunatic that made it before the cutoff is Dan.

      Wow.  This is somewhat surprising as I don't recall the Boston Marathon ever closing their registration so soon.  Interesting.  Good to know as I'm hoping to get back there in 2011.

      Hospital Hill Half-Marathon
      Great Sandbagger 10K

        2011 for me too. Hopefully we can get a big group going up again!

          Darrin, that is certainly what I would like to see.  2008 was an absolute blast when we had the big group there.  Would love to pull that off again in 2011.

            There is now another marathon a couple days before Boston where registration is based on qualifying times - some look a bit faster than Boston  http://www.exetermarathon.com

             

            Will be interesting to see if they get anyone to run it.  I suppose potentially people from the area that couldn't get into Boston if they can meet the more stringent requirements.
