Ahh, I was hoping/dreaming they would move it back to the last weekend in April! Pittsburgh Marathon is the same day (as is the Broad St Run).

Re: new jersey marathon
Yeah, I'm contemplating Pittsburgh, myself....if I stay healthy.

NJ's on the boardwalk isn't it? I can't even imagine. I've NEVER been on the boardwalk without a good stiff crosswind.

Re: new jersey marathon
Only some of it is on the boardwalk. I loved it this last year and I have decided it is so close Im going to make it a regular. Very cost effective and gets my training off to a good start. I cant afford to keep travelling every time I want to run a ,marathon.

Oh, excellent. I just have an inlander's aversion to the Jersey Shore. As I'm sure you well know. To me, the only water that should touch my state is the Delaware. :) Can't help it, I'm a river rat.

Re: new jersey marathon
I thought about doing the Ocean Drive Marathon last year, sort of as a training run for Nashville. I might do this one if I hadn't already committed to Pittsburgh. And all these things conflict with Broad Street, one of my favorites.
