(The following is the reaction of Maine Track Club President Mark Grandonico)
“We all had no idea it would fill in less than 2 hours. I knew it sold out as my cell rang almost immediately with the Million Dollar Question. Does The MTC Have Slots?
No – we don’t, at this time. I will work with Race Organizers to try and obtain some slots. If we do – I will inform the club and we will devise a fair process to distribute them.
Consider volunteering this year if you didn’t get in. Go to the B2B website and click the volunteer tab. Make sure you indicate Finish Area Security and that you are a member of the MTC.”

Here are some pictures from the Gasparilla Marathon. My daughter Michelle and son Kyle are in a few of them. I ran the marathon with Mike Brooks. The marathon was good, plenty of port-a-potties, water, gatorade, GU,they even had some fruit. However,20they only had bananas left at we finished running. They didn’t have any food or Free beer left. I guess, that is how it is when you run slow. I also have to wait 6 weeks for my shirt, no big deal – as long as I receive it! The weather wasn’t too bad, We did have a fast, heavy shower and some heavy winds along the way. The rain caused the bridges to be very slippery, we had to walk across them… It could have been worse. I enjoyed the race, I would run it again!
