Race Route For Pensacola Marathon Announced By Committee
PENSACOLA, Fla. (Jan. 16, 2007) – The race course for the 2007 Pensacola
Marathon, to be held Sunday, Feb. 18, has been confirmed by the marathon
committee and final preparations are well underway.
The USATF certified (#FL-05041DL) 26.2-mile full marathon and the 13.1-mile
half marathon will start at 6:30 a.m. at the corner of Bayfront Drive and
Ninth Avenue and wind through northeast Pensacola before ending at the foot
of Palafox.
Pensacola residents are especially encouraged to cheer for the runners as
they pass through their neighborhoods and the streets of Pensacola. To see
if the route will pass through your area, a detailed map with aid station
and mile markers can be found at www.pensacolamarathon.com.
The design and creation of the marathon race course was a fete of
engineering in its own right, requiring strict consideration of a number of
factors such as terrain, traffic flow, bridge and railroad crossings and
construction.
Race applications are available at www.pensacolamarathon.com; or Running
Wild, 106 S. Palafox Place, downtown Pensacola.
