Middle Half on Channel 3
By MICHELLE WILLARD, Post Staff Writer � Oct. 2, 2007 � 3:10 pm
Channel 3 gives participants and spectators a chance to relive the Middle Half Marathon with a segment on �In the City.�

�They did such a good job on the first (segment) they did,� said Melinda Tate, president of the board of directors for The Murfreesboro Half Marathon. �Every time I watched it I would get me reenergized.�

The segment, which will air Monday-Friday at 8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Oct. 8-21, features spectators, runners and charities, said Miquelont Jolivette, video journalist with Cable Channel 3.

�It encompasses everything,� Jolivette said about the 7-minute segment, from Mayor Tommy Bragg to Special Kids, Inc., and wheelchair marathoner Mack Davis and the start and finish, of course.

�I�m sure they got a lot of local runners and walkers,� Tate said, noting the Channel 3 filmed the entire event.

1,000 runners, from 17 states, ran the inaugural Middle Half Marathon Sept. 22 around the MTSU campus and downtown Murfreesboro.

�I think the word is out that we have a half marathon and now more and more people are finding out about it. � We hope the residents of Murfreesboro will know about it and know to plan around it that day� Tate said, and Channel 3 is doing its best to let everyone know.
