Member  137   Olympia, WA |  Subject: Seattle Marathon - November 30thAnyone else doing it? I signed up yesterday for the half. I did it 2 years ago in the snow, it was a miserable experience and I swore I'd never do that race again. So when I'm looking around for a fall 1/2 mary to do, what do I find that fits my schedule? Yeah, exactly. :-) Russ |

Expert 1238 Denver, Colorado | Subject: RE: Seattle Marathon - November 30th Triathlynne - 2008-11-05 2:55 PM What happened last year? A story came out right after last year's marathon that less than 1% of the money raised by people was actually going to charity. The rest was going into the pocket of the race director. People didn't like it because they were told they were raising funds for UWMC. That's the reason UWMC is no longer the title sponsor or the beneficiary. I guess it wasn't a debacle. More like a scandal. Either way it lowered my respect for the event. Here are a couple of the stories. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004035180_marathon... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004037015_brodeur2... |

Master 2501 | Subject: RE: Seattle Marathon - November 30th I am doing the half. I didn't do last year, but did the two years prior. Both of those times it was about 33 degrees and snowing when I left my house. Three years ago the weather wasn't that bad during the race. Two years ago it POURED the entire time. It's ***so*** Seattle at that time of year. It would be fun to do a dry race, but I'm not counting on it. As long as it's not super-duper windy I'll be happy! |

I'd like to give it a go but it's biting off WAY more than I've ever chewed... would need to walk probably 25% of it worst case scenarieo, are there people who walk portions of it |

Elite 3494 Renton, Washington | Subject: RE: Seattle Marathon - November 30th Gosh. Are there any downtown? hehehehehe.
I am not sure where the start is. Well I know where it is but when I think in my head I can't think of what's nearby. There HAS to be. OR we could just grab our own drinks and meet at a point somewhere near the start? Unless it's raining of course. |

Member 137 Olympia, WA | Subject: RE: Seattle Marathon - November 30th A Starbucks downtown? Hmmm, let me think.... The start is right next to EMP. Not too familiar with the area. |

Member 137 Olympia, WA | Subject: RE: Seattle Marathon - November 30th Okay, just re-read your post. Sorry, I should learn not to post without using reading comprehension. :-) My family and I are staying at the Warwick, about 3 blocks from the start. They aren't coming to the start with me because I like to get to things early and will be leaving the hotel a couple of hours before the start. I'm sure there is a coffee shop somewhere in that area, I'll do some googling and let you know. :-) |
