Pittsburgh Marathon 2010
Here is an update for the Pittsburgh Marathon and how you can get involved, even if you are not on the course.
1. Surprise Water Stop
We are going to have a surprise water stop at the group run on April 3rd in the Southside. We need people to assist with making signs prior to the run, and we also need people to set-up and man the surprise water stop on the 3rd. It is really special for our participants to begin their Group Run and come across the signs along the trail. Then they reach a stop with some fun loving alumni handing out drinks and cheering for them. Set-up begins at 6:00 AM. If you are interested in making signs or helping to set-up and run the water stop, please contact our social chair Margo Cicci at mcicci76@yahoo.com
2. Purple Power Zone
The husbands of Sarah Snider and Linea Riley are helping to create a great cheering spot in the Southside during the marathon. They will have an RV at the LLS Offices for the race to use as a base camp for our cheering section. The Southside was a dead spot last year except for TNT. We need our sign makers, decorators and cheerers to get out and make a purple scene. Setup begins at 4:00 am the morning of the Marathon. If you are interested in making signs or helping to set-up and cheer in the Southside, please contact our social chair Margo Cicci at mcicci76@yahoo.com
3. Informal Runs
We have 3 informal weekday runs to get everyone ready for the Marathon Course.
Run the Begining - Wednesday, April 7th @ 6:00 PM, meet at the Convention Center Run the Big Hill - Wednesday, April 14 @ 6:00 PM, meet at the UPMC Sports Medicine Building (Southside) Run the End - Wednesday, April 21 @ 6:00 PM, meet at the Convention Center
