IMPORTANT Registration Update

I checked the Nike Women's Marathon homepage to check on registration and found some important information. First, the homepage has moved to:

http://insidenikerunning.nike.com/category/events/nike-womens-marathon/

Second, the registration process for this year will be different from previous years due to the overwhelming popularity of the event. Here is what the site says about it:

RANDOM DRAWING PROCEDURE:All interested participants must register for the random drawing online thru Active.com between March 4th and March 18th. We will randomly select runners to meet our cap of 20,000 participants. Only selected participants will have their credit card charged for the registration fee. Random drawing results will be posted on the Nike Women’s Marathon website on April 1st. An email with results will be sent to each applicant on April 1st.

(from http://insidenikerunning.nike.com/2008/02/29/2008-nike-women%e2%80%99s-marathon-registration/)

There is more information on the registration site which I would encourage you to read, but I thought this was the most important information. I would recommend signing up for the random drawing as soon as possible tomorrow morning because it can't hurt to have your name in there early. And after you have entered your name, do lots of positive things so you have extremely good karma and hopefully get chosen to participate!
