 Mercedes Marathon sweetens pot for 2004 event

In an attempt to attract more participants, organizers of the Mercedes Marathon have redesigned the course for the 2004 edition of the race. The objective was to create an "easier, friendlier" course, and the changes include reducing the number of hills, and re-charting the course through more neighborhoods, so as to increase the number of spectators and general community involvement.
