Niagara Falls Maraton in October?
Is anyone doing the Niagara Falls marathon in October? It sounds like a great run. I'm thinking about it, just because it is so unique.

Start in one country, finish in another!
The Niagara Falls International Marathon starts by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo N.Y. The first 6.5km (4 miles) of the race travel the majestic parkways of Buffalo before crossing the Peace Bridge into the historic old town of Fort Erie, Ontario. The route then follows the beautiful Niagara River Parkway and finishes at the magnificent Niagara Falls.
We are the only marathon in the world that starts in one country and finishes in another. The course is considered flat and fast and has hosted the USA men's Olympic Marathon Trials in 1980 and again in 1984, along with the World Veteran's Games Marathon in 1995.
After 6 hours, all participants will be asked to move to the recreational trail as the roads will be open to traffic. Please note the marathon is officially over at 5:00pm; there will be no finish line after this time.
Here is the other event I am going to do in 2010:
