Columbus Marathon Adds Half

Just a quick note to let any readers know that the Columbus Marathon will offer a half this year! The relay division will be gone, which is sad, but many of us have been asking for a half for years. It will be interesting to see how it works.

I noticed on the web site today that walkers in both the full and half marathon must start at 7 a.m. If the half is open for 4 hours, I'd rather start at 8 a.m. Also, I just noticed that more awards will be given to men than to women this year. With an increase in the number of women who enter marathons nationally, I'm a little surprised.

I'll let you know what I find out.
