Lakeshore Marathon 27.2 miler

Courtesy of Marathon Guide.com, the results of Monday's Lakeshore Marathon are posted. The results page lists the distance as 27.2 miles, so at least they've owned up to the boneheaded error. More on the Chicago's Lakeshore Marathon here and here.

Some good news: One of my training partners, Eduardo Ledesma of Chicago, finished fourth overall.

The race organizer and presumed owner of the Lakeshore Marathon is Mark Cihlar. I've sent him two e-mails giving Mark his chance to explain what happened, he has yet to respond. Maybe you'll have better luck, Mark's e-mail is mark@lakeshoremarathon.com

East of Chicago the weekend before, I ran in very a well organized race, the Cleveland Marathon. My review of the race is coming. A quick preview: If you if you want to run a great spring race here in the Midwest, head to Cleveland.

The Green Bay Marathon, which is held on the same day as Cleveland each year, is also is a well done event, I ran it in 2003.
