When I was working the Portland Marathon in October, I heard chatter of a half being added to the slate. However, we have just received word that there will be a half marathon in October 2010. No longer will runners have to stop half way — they can officially receive a PDX medal for their half marathon training efforts.
Here’s the deal:
- the half will be held on the same date as the full marathon(10.10.10)
- space is limited to 3,000 entries (not a lot)
- special premium guaranteed entry offers will be available on Portland’s social networks and their newsletter - you can also get on their e-mail list
- regular registration will open (if space is still available) on Jan. 10, 2010 and will stay open until Jan. 31, 2009 or until the event fills.
