An exercise in brevity, Part II

Just saw this phrase:

...set to take place starting Wednesday and running through Sunday.

And edited it down to:

...set to take place Wednesday through Sunday.

Better, right?

That 'through' sounds very American English to me... I would have gone for something like "set to take place on [or from?] Wednesday to Sunday".
