The Pasadena Marathon course leads runners through some of Pasadena's most historic districts, giving participants the unique opportunity to run alongside some truly amazing landmarks.
To build awareness of the stories behind these important places, Pasadena Marathon is teaming up with Pasadena's local historic preservation organization, Pasadena Heritage, to present "Running With History," a program highlighting 26 of the historic sites along the course - one for each mile of the marathon!
Starting on November 1, 2011, one of the 26 selected sites will be revealed each week on both organizations' Facebook pages. These weekly posts will illustrate a virtual "run" through Pasadena history through photographs, brief historical points of interest, and links to learn more.
Be sure to "Like" Pasadena Heritage and Pasadena Marathon on Facebook to have "Running With History" weekly posts delivered straight to your News Feed.
