Here in Knoxville, we host the Covenant Health Marathon & Half Marathon every spring. It follows a lot of the greenways and goes through some historic neighborhoods in the city, finishing in Neyland Stadium (home of the VOLS) - great course! There is also the St. Jude's Marathon & Half Marathon in Memphis every fall, which is for a fantastic charity (St Jude's Children's Hospital). I can't speak to the course itself, but I have a friend who runs it to raise money for St. Jude and she has enjoyed the race. I hope you get a chance to check out one of these!katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438249961844875812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-37100869880967322582012-05-04T08:28:59.716-06:002012-05-04T08:28:59.716-06:00sounds like a huge cluster. i had no desire to do...sounds like a huge cluster. i had no desire to do this one as my TN race because I am so over the RNR issues. glad you had fun with L though!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07713437477594582906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-41731873849949821752012-05-02T16:45:06.417-06:002012-05-02T16:45:06.417-06:00Wow, that sounds like (a) hotter than an armpit, (...Wow, that sounds like (a) hotter than an armpit, (b) race logistics were mis-managed (competitor group is not on a roll over the last year).<br /><br />You certainly banged out a good pace with the heat.chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597283400851387772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-51673293804508227602012-05-01T14:33:10.176-06:002012-05-01T14:33:10.176-06:00I intended to look for you guys but in the chaos I...I intended to look for you guys but in the chaos I couldn't find anyone I knew at the start or finish. I couldn't agree more about everything you said regarding this race. There were parts on a hill where there were so many walkers there was no way to get through but to cut them off to get around. I highly recommend Oak Barrel Half in Lynchburg, TN!Suz and Allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703593542540533784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707007344589561021.post-34257262441422767352012-04-30T09:20:22.292-06:002012-04-30T09:20:22.292-06:00Great job!
