In the wake of marathon excitement (attending Boston last week and signing up for Marine Corps this week), I thought I would check in again on the status of a potential 2009 marathon in Pittsburgh. Here is the response I got from Kevin Smith of Elite Runners and Walkers:
"If it happens the group will be announcing within the month. If it all does not come together soon, we will have to wait for 2010. Things are looking up for 2009."
This is not a super strong answer and given that I had information last year that "a 2008 marathon is definitely going to happen," I don't have my hopes up.

Wow. I'm disappointed in our boy Luke. Especially because he promised one for 2008. It's a shame this city can't get there act together...But the elite might not come whenever it is as we are now the sootiest city. I wonder how we compare with Beijing???
Pittsburgh was named the Sooties City? That's interesting. I wonder if they'll ever get their act together! How is Luke doing these days? Any recent sitings?
