As I'm not running it this year due to scheduling concerns, I didn't realize that the start and finish to the marathon course had been altered.

Looks as if they removed some of the curves and turns at the start and finish, and now the latter looks to be at a slight declination. [MTA: the incursion into Indiana has been altered as well.]

Who's in the full or half this year?

“I used to be a runner. Uh-huh. Not a marathoner. A runner. Marathons are bullshit. They’re all hype. Some official picks a random day, and rain or cold, you’re out there pounding the pavement alongside 50,000 other dumbfucks. No. There’s some things it’s better to do all by yourself.” Augustus Hill, Oz

Shit! They really changed the course. I'm not relishing running the entire cherokee loop at miles 16-18...damn.

Also- I'm particularly excited about the lack of lame ass bottlenecks during the first 2 miles...it's definitely a smarter course.

3rd street is a lame ass bottleneck.

It's narrower than Southern Pkwy, and the outside lanes have horrible camber. Plus, Iroquois Park will not get the benefit of an extra couple of miles of crowd separation, so it will be crowded as well.

Skootr, why didn't you pick up the phone when the race committee called? It looks like they had to book Uncle Kracker instead.

Agree with Skootr. Had I known this was my reward for having returned to RA I would have just stayed away. Eff!

MTA: The Skootr. WTF is wrong with me? Where are my manners?
