Ring in the New Year by registering for the Cellcom 5K Run/Walk or the WPS Kids’ Power Run. Registration for both events opens at 12:01 am on New Year’s Day.

The Cellcom 5K will take place on Saturday, May 14 at 8:30 a.m. and the WPS Kid’s Power Run will take place the same day beginning at 10:00 a.m.  Both events run through Lambeau Field and finish in the stadium parking lot.

“The Cellcom 5K is returning in 2011 after a being replaced for a year by the 2.62-mile Mini-Marathon,” said Sean Ryan, race director for the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. “We hope the family audience who participated last year is equally excited for the 3.1-mile event. The 5K, a popular race for short-distance runners, is truly a great distance for the whole family to participate in.”

Registration for the marathon, half marathon and marathon relay opened on October 1.  The pace of registration for these distance events has been brisk, with the marathon at 25 percent capacity and half marathon at 16 percent capacity. Registration is expected to pick up in January.  

“We always see a surge in January as people commit to their New Year’s resolutions of getting in shape,” said Ryan.

The twelfth annual Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will take place May 13 - 15, 2011. The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon seeks to create community spirit through a world-class marathon for people of all abilities. To learn more, visit www.cellcomgreenbaymarathon.com.
