-------------------- 2004 Olympic Marathons to Start at 6 P.m -------------------- By Associated Press April 5, 2003, 5:12 PM EST DAKAR, Senegal -- The 2004 Olympic marathons will be run in the evening instead of the morning, track and field's ruling body decided Saturday. The men's and women's 26.2-mile races will start at 6 p.m. local time. Greek organizers originally planned a 7 a.m. start because they wanted to avoid the worst of the Athens summer heat. The marathons are scheduled for Aug. 28-29, the last two days of the two-week Olympics.
