Champion  6503    NOVA - Ironic for an Endurance Athlete |  Subject: Shamrock Marathon QuestionI have the map of the race. 1. Are there any friendly folks handing out stuff to the runners outside of the aid stations? 2. In which areas will there be no spectators? |

Master 1996  Woodbridge , Virginia | Subject: RE: Shamrock Marathon Question i haven't participated in this race before.. but i have watched and cheered friends.. first year of participation.. 1. i haven't seen anyone handing out stuff.. no saying it doesn't happen.. 2. yes there are places where there will be no spectators.. i don't quite a few races at the ocean front.. there is always blanks spaces along the run.. the bulk of the crowd is hanging out at(near) the finishline. |

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: Shamrock Marathon Question pga_mike - 2009-01-20 1:45 PM I have the map of the race. 1.

I don't know about the full...but I've done the half and yes, there were some friendly folks handing out stuff, but not a ton (may differ for the full) and yes, there are lots of lonely areas (and probably even more on the full). The spectators seem to line the first couple and last couple miles and the rest is pretty quiet. |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Shamrock Marathon Question Agree with what everyone else said. There are usually people near the turn into and inside Fort Story. The hashers are usually between mile 10 and 11 for the half - before the turn onto Atlantic. Not sure what that translates to for the marathon or if you want beer. |

Champion 9060 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: Shamrock Marathon Question turtlegirl - 2009-01-23 2:58 PM we tried to get a room there, all sold out.  Also she said we might have an extra reservation at a courtyard by marriott that we might be able to give you if you want it. |

Champion 9060 Charlottesville, Virginia | Subject: RE: Shamrock Marathon Question turtlegirl - 2009-01-23 10:57 PM oh yes, where is that? Let me check, it might be a suite because we were going to stay there if we brought the kids, but I think we are leaving them at home now so we probably won't use it. Will get the particulars tomorrow. |
