Nike Women's Marathon & 1/2 marathon, after crazy sellout last year, is moving to a lottery system like the NY Marathon to obtain its 20,000 participants. Registration for lottery is open now, and those selected will have credit cards charged and email notifications on April 1st. Race is on Sunday, October 19th.
A great scenic race that departs from Niketown in Union Square, trots along the embarcadero and over the Presidio to Golden Gate Park. Half marathoners stop there, while 26.2 continues to the pan handle and back to Great Hwy, south past the zoo, around Lake Merced for the nostalgia of the Xmas relays, and ends at the Beach Chalet.
INCENTIVE FOR WOMEN: Local heroes from fire department, dressed in full tuxedos (they clean up nicely!) on hand to present you with your green Tiffany box at the end of your race.
INCENTIVE FOR MEN: Opportunity to be one of 200-400 men running alongside 18,800 fit & fast women who will undoubtedly be checking you out, if not cat calling you, as you pass each other. And you don't have to feel guilty about it because you'll also have a Tiffany trinket to take home to your favorite fawn after the race.
***ACT NOW! Lottery registration ends March 18th.
***March 18, 2008.
***Eighteenth day, of the third month, of this calendar year.
TWO weeks from now.

Fine Print: "Legacy Runners" - those who have participated in the first 4 years of this race, should have received a special email with a special registration site and code to get priority access - these runners should NOT register in the lottery! Post comment to me here if you are a legacy runner and haven't yet gotten your golden key. Please include your full name and email address.
