__/ MICHIGAN RUNNER TV: SCOTIABANK TORONTO WATERFRONT MARATHON - We have lots of shows underway which we'll show over the next couple of weeks, beginning with Saturday's Friendhship Run which reflects the international field of the marathon, half-marathon and 5K races. You'll be able to see world record holder Ed Whitlock, joggler Michal Kapral, and the winner, Daniel Rono, who's as charming as he is fast. http:// michiganrunner.tv/2006scotiabank/

__/ MICHIGAN RUNNER TV: CHURCHILL'S HALF MARATHON - This show will inspire you to get out and run on these crisp autumn days. On a sunny day in March 2006, Michigan Runner TV visited one of the oldest road races in the midwest: Churchill's Half Marathon. Join us as we visit with race founder, Walt Churchill, winner Ryan Desgrange, and runner-up Andy Haas. http://michiganrunner.tv/2006churchills/

__/ MRN ON THE ROAD

-- TORONTO - Alan Brookes, Dana Allen, Inge Johnson and the rest of the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon team put together a fabulous weekend of events. Highlights included a free concert Friday night, a deal on tickets to the Blue Jays / Red Sox games, a Pasta Dinner at historic St. Lawrence Market, and a slightly altered course which featured ten neighborhood celebrations and, of course, Toronto's waterfront. All of this was within walking distance of our downtown hotel. Put this one on your calendar for next year: Sept. 23, 2007. http:// torontowaterfrontmarathon.com

-- SAUGATUCK - The Mt. Baldhead Challenge is a great excuse to visit Saugatuck-Douglas-- one of West Michigan's treasures along the Lake Michigan shore. If Lake Michigan and Kalamazoo River scenery weren't enough, there are art galleries galore and the famous Oval Beach. Take a video tour of Saugatuck/Douglas with Michigan Runner editor, Scott Sullivan. http://michigantravel.tv/2006saugatuck/

-- LAKE LANSING / OKEMOS - Playmaker's Autumn Classic is held in beautiful Lake Lansing Park in Haslett. It's no wonder the trails in the park are so popular for training runs. While we were in the neighborhood we stopped by Playmakers store in Okemos. Join Playmakers' Brian Jones for a look at the store, the concept behind Team Playmakers and Brian's tips on hot new products. (Think wool!) http://michiganrunner.tv/2006playmakers/

__/ DESIREE DAVILA IS ON WORLD ROAD RUNNING CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM - Desiree Davila, a newcomer of the Hanson's Brooks Distance Project will be getting ready to run a 20k in Debrecen, Hungary. On October 8, 2006, Davila and other members of the Team USA will be toeing the line for a 20k World Championship. Davila qualified for this USA event while running the US 20k champs.

__/ DEAN KARNAZES TO RUN GRAND RAPIDS MARATHON COURSE OCTOBER 21 - "Marathon" Don Kern reports, "Unless you've been living in a vacuum, you've all heard of Ultramarathon Man Dean Karnazes. He's coming to run our course as part of the Endurance 50. Only thing is, it's not on race day, it's on October 21. Still, it's a good chance to run part of the course with a running celebrity, and if you want to officially sign up for it, they'll include all kinds of goodies with it, including an autographed copy of Dean's book. For more info, http://www.endurance50.com

"The official Grand Rapids Marathon is on October 29th. That's when the race is and when you can earn an official Finishers Medal. You're still welcome to run with Dean as a training run. Also, living in a vacuum would probably be preferable to living in a microwave."

__/ 4 MICHIGAN CONTENDERS FOR CONTINENTAL AIRLINES FIFTH AVENUE MILE - Kevin Sullivan, Nate Brannen, Nick Willis and Grant Robison are among the middle distance talent who will contend for the Continental Airlines Fifth Avenue Mile on Saturday. $4,000 goes to the winner.
