2010-11-19

PHUKET, THAILAND, November 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) Those wishing to register to take part in the Tucson Marathon 2010 are still able to do so, and can still register online if they wish.

It is winter in Tucson at the time of the Marathon, with temperatures ranging in the 30s at the start time, heading up to around 65 to 70 Fahrenheit by around 11 am. The marathon course is generally downhill, with the exception of a few small hills located around the point of the 1st and 10th miles, and some rolling hills and inclines located between the 2nd and 5th miles and between the 10th and 13th miles.

The marathon begins at the Old West historical town of Oracle, winds through the desert (on actual paved roads, however) and finally reaches its conclusion at the Coronado Middle School, which is situated just off of E. Wilds Road. The course is widely regarded by experienced marathon runners as both one of the easiest courses in which to try and gain a personal best time and one of the prettiest and most scenic such courses to run.

Lek Boonlert, the Head of Marketing for DirectRooms.com, says that Damascus hotels will inevitably be busier during the lead-up to and aftermath of the marathon. He advises: "It's a popular event, so get your running shoes on and book a room early."

While responsibility for the tragedy remains a subject of debate, its impact is not. The ultimate costs have been estimated anywhere from $2 billion to $14 billion.

As the winter holiday season approaches, Lake County area police will be stepping up their DUI enforcement efforts throughout the county.
