Posted by Gary Allen, race director on October 16, 2007, 4:21 pm, in reply to "(no subject)" Of my 66 marathons this is my favorite one too, although I may never get to run it, I can tell by the looks on all your smiling faces its a pretty fun event. You see I love to run marathons and I love to direct them and somebody has to do both. When I founded this event(been in my head for years) and designed the MDI Marathon course (this happened on a snowy Feb night) I knew what I wanted, you know the feeling we all get by finishing a marathon well multiply that by about 100 and you get the warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction I get by working hard to give something back to the sport I love and that has been so good to me over the years. Cheers to you all and thanks for being an important part of my field of dreams gary allen --Previous Message--
