100 days left until the race

Registration for the Cellcom Green Bay Half Marathon is officially closed. As of 8:35 a.m. on Feb. 3, the half marathon reached its capacity.

“This is over two months earlier than we sold out in 2010,” said Sean Ryan, race director for the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. “This is great news for us and even better news for our charity partners.”

A limited number of spots remain for the half marathon dedicated solely to fundraisers in the Run for a Reason program. These runners raise $300 that goes directly to the marathon charity partners, Family Services, Cerebral Palsy, Inc., and Junior Achievement. In exchange, each fundraiser receives an entry into the marathon or half marathon. Runners can sign up for the Run for a Reason program on the marathon website homepage.

The full marathon is also filling up faster than usual and currently sits at 80% capacity. This race sold out in late April in 2010. The marathon relay has room for over 100 more teams and the 5K, the short distance event, will not be capped.

The twelfth 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.
