The newly revised course for the 2008 Wirefly Marathon and Half Marathon was unveiled last weekend at the Army 10 Miler Expo in Crystal City, VA. The route, a reversal of that in 2007, maintains its start and finish at RFK Stadium, as in previous years, and provides runners and spectators with views of more than monuments and the National Mall. It highlights the best of the District's neighborhoods, featuring six of the city's eight wards, including portions run through the heart of Adams Morgan, dynamic Kalorama, and beautiful Poplar Point.

"Just as last year, the course represents both DC's historic past and its promising future," says Greater Washington Sports Alliance President Robert Sweeney. "We are proud of the strong sense of community this race develops in the region, and which this course enforces."

Race Director and former elite marathoner, Keith Dowling, maintains that the course has improved each year. "Runners in the half marathon will experience a whole new section of the city than in years past. For marathoners, this course retains the aesthetic value of the last few years, but is functionally better." A map of the course is available on the Wirefly National Marathon web site.

Registration continues for the 3 rd annual Wirefly National Marathon, which will be held Saturday, March 29th. For information regarding the 2008 Wirefly National Marathon and how to register, please visit Wirefly National Marathon web site.
