Registration

Welcome to the first registration day to Nike Women's Marathon 2008!

I wanted to address a suggestion posed to me yesterday about signing up as a group. There is an option in this event to sign up as a group, and the even encourages people to participate with family and friends. However, in reading through the registration information available, it said two things about registering as a group that dissuade me from registering this way: 1) registering as a group will give you no advantage to being chosen to participate over someone who registers as an individual and 2) the group goes into the pot as one entry and has only one chance to be chosen.

So far it looks like we have about 7 people who are interested in participating in this event which is spectacular! I think it would be best if everyone registers separately because then 7 people have the chance to get chosen to participate as opposed to just one group having the chance. If you are concerned about not being chosen, email me and I have some suggestions about some extra steps you can take :)

Lastly I would recommend getting your name into registration early because that way it is done and you know your name is there and ready to be drawn.

Also, another idea I had for anyone who does not get chosen to participate, there are a few options. 1) You can run/walk the course anyway on that day or on a different day. 2) We can find another marathon/half marathon near the date of the NWM and I will be more than happy to come out and support those people who don't get chosen for NWM.

So, get registered, feel free to email me with any questions or for my ideas about getting a leg up during registration and don't forget, it opens at 10am pst!
