__/ CLINT VERRAN TO PACE RYAN SHAY IN ING NEW YORK CITY MARATHON--A couple of Michigan's best marathoners will team up for next month's New York City Marathon. Clint Verran (2005 World Marathon Championship Team, 5th at 2004 Olympic Marathon Trials) made headlines during the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon by running as an escort for the lead woman, who happened to be Olympic Bronze Medalist Deena Kastor. Clint will use his skills as an extremely consistent marathoner to pace Ryan Shay's second effort in the New York classic. Shay set his personal best 2:14:08 at New York in 2004 and will take on a field that includes world-record holder Paul Tergat and Olympic silver medalist Meb Keflezighi.

__/ MRN ON THE ROAD

-- DETROIT--We congratulate Pat Ball and her team (Bob Smith, Joe Baldwin, Doug Kurtis, Bill Ewing and hundreds more) for a wildly successful and truly world-class event. More than 13,000 ran, walked or wheeled in the marathon, half-marathon, marathon relay and 5K. We also thank the Michigan Runner team: editor Scott Sullivan, TV host Tim Broe, contributors Doug McEwen, Tom Henderson, Carter Sherline, and, especially, James Sherline, who made sure everyone at the expo got a complimentary issue of Michigan Runner magazine.

-- NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO--Jim and Ruth Ralston teamed up with the Fallsview Casino Resort to bring back one of North America's classic races. The Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort Marathon is an international event which starts in Buffalo, New York and finishes in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The absolutely terrific expo featured Katherine Switzer, Roger Robinson, Sylvia Ruegger, John Stanton, a Brooks fashion show, and a crowd-drawing Irish step-dancing team. Marathoners were treated to a wonderful place to wait after the bus ride to the start: the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo's Delaware Park, featuring an exhibit of contemporary Chinese art and music for the occasion by a harp and flute duo. __/ MICHIGAN RUNNER RACE SERIES: DETROIT FREE PRESS / FLAGSTAR BANK MARATHON RESULTS
