Just looking at raceberryjam.com I see 8 half marathons in Minnesota in May, plus the popular Brian Kraft 5K and Northern Lakes races.<BR/><BR/>For Stillwater, I think the most interesting thing may be the 4 different distances for a first-time event. It seems like a lot to bite off. Although, I do like the idea of another 12K in the state. Since I've never run one, that means if I run it I'll be able to set a least 1 more PR in my life.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08412073727859282887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38259282.post-60512379674460084322009-03-11T09:55:00.000-05:002009-03-11T09:55:00.000-05:00Well cell phone coverage is a safety issue.

Not for spectators. <BR/><BR/>And the two new marathons are a week apart.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635873096459073349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38259282.post-82120211398593435542009-03-11T08:08:00.000-05:002009-03-11T08:08:00.000-05:00I can understand picking a course based on being s...I can understand picking a course based on being spectator friendly but it's kind of shocking that cell phone coverage has anything to do with it. Remember when there were no cell phones? I can't imagine how we ever managed.<BR/><BR/>I think it's great there's 2 new marathons in the area. Sucks that they are the same weekend though.roughkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502407675299006362noreply@blogger.com
