THE PITTSBURGH MARATHON IS BACK IN 2009?
A recent report in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, by reporter Steve Levin,
stated that The Pittsburgh Marathon will return in 2009. Details on date, cost, route or name have not been finalized, but a spokesman from the county has confirmed that they are working dilegently with the city to make it all happen.
Stay tuned for details on this announcment as well as a new Elite Runners & Walkers training program to kick off this summer for the Great Race, another this fall for runners wanting to take on an early spring race like The Spring Thaw or Just A Short Run, and finally a program to kick off in January 2009 for those already training who want to to run Pittsburgh's reincarnated marathon.

Help Stomp Out
Hookworm with Soles4Souls
Soles4Souls, the shoe charity dedicated to changing the world with the gift of shoes, needs your help! We all own a pair of sneakers, sandals or boots we no longer use. But those unworn shoes can make a big difference in somebody else's life. |
Nearly one billion people in the world are without a pair of shoes, including 300 million children. To each of them, a pair of decent footwear can eliminate serious problems, such as infection, injury and disease.
One major disease we are working to eliminate is Hookworm. It is a major health problem in many countries, and is mostly contracted by walking around barefoot. Hookworm can cause permanent health problems and Soles4Souls has made it our mission to rid the world of it....but we need your extra shoes to do it. |
|
The next time you're cleaning out your closet, grab a few pairs of extra shoes and donate them to Soles4Souls. We know several hundred million kids who will be happy you did. |
Thank you for your Support

Elite Runners & Walkers also accepts completely worn out or trashed shoes for recycling so there is no reason to send any shoes to the garbage. We just ask that you not bring them in full of mud or debris of any kind. | | | |
