They Did What???

I went to kickboxing today and found out that the route for Sand Hollow Marathon has been changed! Can they do that? Yes, they can and did. It is now an out and back course and instead of an easy grade at mile 19, I now have to run up Nemesis (aka Sand Hollow Hill) at mile 18. I think they are trying to kill me. FYI-marathon runners don't normally like out and back courses. Personally I don't think they had all their ducks in a row before posting the course. They should have figured it out before everyone registered.
