excerpt of course description...
This course is guaranteed to be fast and festive. Enjoy the course as you pass by the beautiful resort area of Virginia Beach and continue through Fort Story and pass Cape Henry Lighthouse, the country's oldest lighthouse. You will spot many leprechauns along the way as well as music and great support through water stop competitions. Runners and walkers will start together. All athletes will be lined up based on their estimated finish time. Times will be recorded for seven hours (16:02 min. per mile pace). This is a (2007) Boston qualifier, too. Also, with the Marathon we encourage those runners who want to go the extra mile ( or 4.97 miles to be exact) to take on the Whale Challenge by also running in the 8K on Saturday, March 18 as well. Runners who are interested in this challenge must mail in their registration, as there is no online registration for this event.

It was my goal to attempt the LA marathon in April, but I sprained my left foot a couple months back. So much for that plan. The best of luck, it sounds like a "good" time.

My knees are just thinking about it.

I have a hard enough time riding 26.2 miles on my road bike.

Good for you, RTF.

This is getting to be a pretty big event: http://www.rnraz.com/

We hang out and eat Burger King and watch the people run. I found out that people are not shy about where they urinate when running a marathon...
