__/ WINDSOR, BRIDGE AND TUNNEL ARE BACK FOR 25TH MARATHON We are as excited as Detroit Free Press Publisher, Heath Meriwether, who announced the course for the 25th Detroit Free Press Flagstar Bank Marathon at a press conference hosted by Greektown Casino on Monday. The course will again incorporate the Ambassador Bridge, the Windsor waterfront and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. The route, designed by Doug Kurtis, continues around Belle Isle, through historic Indian Village, and by Greektown with a finish at Ford Field, the new home of the Detroit Lions. After the traditional international route was nixed following the events of 9/11 last year, race and city officials doubted that the international route could happen again. That it did, is a credit to the determination and perseverance of Race Director Pat Ball and the support of customs, city and federal officials. Mayor Michael D. Hurst of Windsor and Derek Miller, representing Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, both saw the marathon as a symbol of the free and open borders between Windsor and Canada. In further good news, the Immigration and Naturalization Service will have a booth at the Marathon Expo to allow runners to register until the day before the October 6 race. For course details see http://www.detroitfreepressmarathon.com.

__/ JORDAN DESILETES STEEPLECHASE MARK IS YEAR'S BEST 3000SC - 8:52.10 Jordan Desilets. More than 300 athletes from 32 countries competed at the 2002 PowerAde North America, Central America & Caribbean (NACAC) Under-25 Track & Field Championships. Sell, Brian's, 30:16.29 in the 10,000 meters was just .03 off the winning time of 30:16.26.

__/ WISNIEWSKI WINS HALF MARATHON GOLD We were not surprised when University of Michigan All-American Mike Wisniewski was named to the U.S. NACAC team. We were just a little surprised to see that Mike would be running the half-marathon, since the 13.1 mile half marathon is a tad longer than the usual 10K event in which college athletes compete. Smart move: no one else in the under-25K event tackled the half marathon and Wisniewski had the difficult course to himself. Wisniewski ran 1:10:05--a time which will earn him a Michigan Runner ranking for the half marathon.

__/ RUN THRU HELL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10 Harrison and Dolores Hensley's race is famous for its t-shirts, hot, humid weather, and scenic, sometimes dusty, country roads. The Pinckney Running Club sponsors the 10 Mile and 4.8 Mile races beginning at 8:00 am in Hell, Michigan. It's a good idea to pre-register and to arrive early for this very popular Crim tune-up. Call 734.878.6640.
