Sarasota Runners on the Run

Sarasota runners are going to be out and about these next couple of weeks. This coming weekend there is a group heading to our nation's capitol to run the awesome Marine Corp Marathon. This a favorite race for many reasons. Running around the monuments, White House, Capitol building, Pentagon, and along the Mall is such a moving experience. The weather is typically great for running a marathon, cool and clear. And then you have the great restaurants and sightseeing. The following week there is the ever popular New York City Marathon. With over 45,000 runners, this is one huge event! Again a favorite of many runners because of the course, sightseeing and the other attractions that NYC has to offer. Weather is unpredictable but many deal with the conditions the best they can. Finally, there is a group heading to the Florida panhandle to do the Florida Ironman in Panama City. Not only will these athletes run a marathon but will also swim and bike. This is the full ironman and is the ultimate challenge to many triathletes. All of these athletes have trained hard and long during a very hot summer. Best of luck to everyone and I'll post results as they come available.
