Buffalo Marathon Reshuffles Itself

The Buffalo Marathon has decided to reshuffle itself! (Ed. comment: hmm, VERY good idea). New course; new date (May 27th at 8 a.m.). There's also a 4-person relay attached to the event.

The first overall male and female open and masters winners receive $1,000 each. It also looks like course record breakers get another hefty bonus.

The best news: the marathon entry fee is a mere $20 (or $22 race day); or $20 ($24 race day) per person for the relay. With that you get egg roll -- actually all the usual perks including shirts, goodie bags, pasta dinner, finisher medals and post-race food.

For details call John Beishline at (716) 694-5153, or write Buffalo-Erie-Buick Marathon Association, 451 Evergreen Dr., Tonawanda, NY 14150.
