Posted by Heidi on October 17, 2007, 7:53 am I heard about this marathon in April 2006 reading a prevention magazine article on "walker friendly" marathons. I needed a "fitness inspiration" and I decided that the MDI marathon was going to be it. I signed up as soon as I could after the 2007 registration opened and convinced my husband to join me. Well, that was 120 lbs. ago...... I am happy to say that I finished the event and had a fantastic time doing it. I can't say enough about how well it was all organized, the enthusiastic volunteers and the breathtaking course. My biggest surprise was all the encouraging words of support I got from the runners on the course - that really meant a lot. See you next year!
