Essentially the city gave them the opportunity to combine or move one to the spring and both said no.

It made it easy to predict the terrain. Hell, I even liked the spit. It may not have been the best representation of the city, but it was a very fun race and I liked the neighborhood cheering Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20341995.post-24085993452026982162010-01-28T09:34:56.003-05:002010-01-28T09:34:56.003-05:00Very well said, Kenny!

I like the option of having both. <br /><br />Like you said, STWM route is NOT a good representation of the city. Blah, blah, blah!<br /><br />Maybe it's because I'm not a driver in T.O., but I don't really see what the big deal is with having road closuresMarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230997094889375925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20341995.post-19325971360537493792010-01-28T06:56:38.959-05:002010-01-28T06:56:38.959-05:00Thoughtful post-I do agree, but worry that the sam...Thoughtful post-I do agree, but worry that the same people who want to regulate there being two will never allor for the best possible route and complete road closures. One reason Scotia has the route it has is to minimize disruption. I just don't see the city closing Yonge and Bloor. But could argue that's better as they have subways and they can open early that day.

I think there are so many runners now that we shouldn't have to worry about dates. Plus, for us long term runners, choice is awesome. Toronto this year, maybe New York next, Chicago the following...<br /><br />We've got room to grow. <br /><br />Again, I'm not advocating for a single marathon, just saying the date should be in yumkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326728444383668883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20341995.post-89263477230259627512010-01-27T21:03:07.009-05:002010-01-27T21:03:07.009-05:00I hope the marathon will not be on the same weeken...I hope the marathon will not be on the same weekend as the NY marathon.
