Detroit Marathon (Read 498 times)

I'll be there! I did the full a couple years ago - so fun. Doing the half this year - really looking forward to it. The only hills I remember were just before the bridge, the bridge and the tunnel, all of which were nothing. Great spectators! Are you from the area or traveling to get here? As far as time saving goes - if you need to pee and are willing to squat, a popular spot that has no spectators is just after the bridge - you'll see people jumping into the bushes. no line! Training wise... someone else is best to answer you that.

Missa, I'll be there. Have run the full 7 times. I'm a homer and a glutten for punishment. If the course is like last year be sure to remove your sunglasses as you come into Ford Field. They route us down a steep, dark tunnel to the finish on the field. Hopefully there will be lights this year. Enjoy.

Mike, you're correct. I just checked the course map and the finish is at Campus Marsius--that's a good thing. Ford Field was a debacle! Should be a better finish--good luck!

Kitna says 10 wins. Come on give em just one more chance to prove themselves. How can you argue with a one point win over Cinci in thier first exhibition game. Well at the same time Campus Martius is a nice place

Yeah, Kitna... I love my Lions, but they will be fortunate to finish with 6 wins this year. I say this every single year, and they still manage to underachieve... I guess based on Joe's comment about the debacle at the finish last year I'm glad it doesn't finish in Ford Field. Originally I was kind of bummed. I thought it would be kinda cool. I guess back in 1999 or 2000 it finished by crossing over home plate at Tiger Stadium. THAT would've been awesome!
