Sunday 5/3/09
After a 6-year hiatus, the Pittsburgh Marathon [click on image to enlarge course map] returns on Sunday 5/3/09 with a new sponsor. I have run 6 of my 18 marathons in Pittsburgh (1996-2001), including my personal best time of 2 hours, 54 minutes in 1999. There were typically about 2,000 marathon runners each year with plenty of crowd support along the course.
In early May, the weather is usually perfect with low humidity and temps in the 40-50s. There is also a half-marathon added this year, with both events scheduled to start earlier at 7:30 am. I am planning to run the marathon, but have a lot of training to do over the next few months to finish in less than three hours. Email me if you are interested in the race.
