Human Interest Story

On May 17, 2009 Wayne Kursh will introduce runners from every state to a new start, new finish and a new course that he calls "much more challenging".  The new course will have runners of the full marathon loop twice rather than the old four loop course and the new start will be held at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park.
