Marathon weekend is eight months away, but registration is now open for the 2011 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. Runners can now register for the full marathon, half marathon or marathon relay events.

“Opening registration on October 1 worked well last year,” said Sean Ryan, race director for the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. “Participants are often eager to commit to a spring race before the cold, winter weather sets in. Opening registration now gives our runners ample opportunity to do just that.”

From now until December 31 registration for the marathon is $75, half marathon is $60, and the marathon relay is $200 per team.

Runners can visit www.cellcomgreenbaymarathon.com for more information and to register.

The 12th annual Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will take place on May 13-15, 2011. Over the past 11 years, the race has generated over $410,000 in proceeds for local charities.  The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon seeks to create community spirit through a world-class marathon for people of all athletic abilities.
