The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon’s “Run for a Reason” program reached its full capacity of 200 fundraisers today. Additional fundraisers are no longer being accepted into the program. 

“Like the distance events themselves, the fundraising program has a capacity limit to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the participants,” said Sean Ryan, race director for the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. “Without a capacity, the program would become a limitless portal for registration to the event, jeopardizing its success.”

Fundraisers who successfully raise $300 or more earn a free entry to the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon or Half Marathon. Last year the fundraising program contributed just over $52,000 to the marathon’s partner charities. This year’s partner charities include Cerebral Palsy, Inc., Family Services and Junior Achievement.

Only 20 spots remain for the marathon relay event. The 5K and WPS Kid’s Power Run are not 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. For more information visit www.cellcomgreenbaymarathon.com.
