Using a multi-loop course proved to be an exciting venue for both athletes and spectators alike. The loop course idea was so successful, that both the New York and Boston Marathons used loop courses for the recent 2008 USA Men’s & Women’s Marathon Olympic Trials. the Mercedes Marathon weekend of events has become a Birmingham tradition. The event has helped to raise more than $1.5 million for local charities. The 2009 event included more than 9,000 runners and walkers of all ages, shapes and sizes and was used by participants to raise a record $534,000." |
