9/27 Marathon Route

Hello! It is a big week for the marathon group - 23 miles! We are going to do two loops - one 12 miles and one 11 miles.

Link to 1st loop of marathon route (12 miles)
Link to 2nd loop of marathon route (11 miles)

9/27 Half Marathon Route

Hello everyone! It is our 11 mile run - heck, we are almost 1/2 marathoners already! This route is similar to the 9.5 mile route we did a few weeks ago, except that instead of turning on Lockener and going all the way out to Landa, we will turn on Lockener, then on Wood and take it past Walnut to Landa. After that, the rest of the turns are identical to the 9.5 run which most people seemed to enjoy.

Update: There are actually a few different turns near the end of the run than we did on the 9.5 mile, but it is pretty similar up for the most part.
