I loved this marathon, my first

The DC Marathon was my first, and I loved everything about it. I just went online to find out when I could run it again--hoping last year's cancellation was a one-time unfortunate event--and see that it's cancelled again! How sad. I really hope it comes back somehow. I'll sign any petition to help. Mary Hanson

Don't let the DC Marathon die.

I just found out that the DC Marathon will not be held. I ran the first one, and was entered in the second. It was a really nice marathon: great views, and it was a thrill running in the capital of the greatest country in the world. I got into the Marine Corps due to the cancellation (way to go MARINES). I really hope that someone keeps this marathon alive. DC needs a marathon of its own, and the first year crowd of almost 10,000 runners proves that.
