        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.
