City staff looking at March for marathon reschedule

City Manager Michael Beck just announced at tonight's City Council meeting that the city wants to try to find a date in March for rescheduling the marathon. Representatives of the organizer told the Star News yesterday that a spring date would be unlikely. Obviously it is all still very much up in the air.

Councilman Steve Madison suggested the city look at a quick reschedule in the next few weeks, something I had been hoping to see. Beck does not think it will work.... too many planning issues, difficulty getting churches and businesses to agree to a date, upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, etc.

Janette Williams will have a story in tomorrow's paper, which should have many more details.
