half marathon bus trip April 2010? please vote.


I've been tossing about the idea of a half marathon bus trip from Quad Cities to Springfield, IL Lincoln Memorial Half Marathon the first Saturday of April, 2010.  I ran this with a few friends in April 2008.  It's a good course, with about a thousand runners.  Flat, on city streets through older neighborhoods with a couple miles of rolling hills at the end. Well supported event.

So early, you say.  Yes - early enough it doesn't conflict with most late April/Early May Marathons (two weeks before Boston.) Leave on Friday night, come back Saturday pm.  One night in hotel.  It is Easter weekend, which influenced some for IL marathon last year.

To gauge interest, I put up a poll at right.  Please take a moment to vote.
