It’s going to be run on Sunday, December 6. It should be way more exciting than this year’s race. I see that zappos.com is back on board, which is good. More sponsor bucks usually translates into more stuff on the course.
I’ll be posting a notice about training groups, probably sometime around May or early June. If you can run a mile, you can probably run a marathon after a few months of preparation. The key is to not get too ambitious about your time and to stay disciplined. With all the music on the course we won’t have the usual mind-numbing boredom of the Carey/Smoke Ranch-Torrey Pines legs, either.
