Marathon Director Takes Long View
(The Washington Post)
Keith Dowling, former national-class marathoner, ran a personal best of 2:13:28 at the 2002 Boston Marathon; but rather than particpate in marathons as a runner, he is the race director of the National Marathon. Nonetheless, Dowling believes the work ethic required for both endeavors is similar. National Marathon will have a new sponsor, an updated course, an increase in prize money and an quality field especially in the women's half marathon, where at least eight elite women are using the race as a final tuneup for the Olympic trials marathon in Boston.
