(10-11-05) Marathon season is in full swing and you know this by simply looking at the calendar and seeing that the month of October is upon us. On October 9, four marathons of significance to runners in the Northwest took place - all on the same day including the 34th annual Portland Marathon, the Bend Marathon (in its second year), the Royal Victoria Marathon (in Victoria, BC), and the Chicago Marathon. And not to mention the fact that the Lake Tahoe Marathon took place the day before (on Oct 8th).In an attempt to avoid overcrowing on this particular weekend, Lake Tahoe race director Les Wright announced that his event will be moving to Sept. 30, 2006 - two weeks earlier to avoid being staged on the same weekend as the inaugural Rock 'n' Roll San Jose Half Marathon that will take place next year.
