Community First Fox Cities Marathon presented by Kimberly-Clark has assigned bib numbers to all runners registered to date in each event, including the full marathon, half marathon, and relay marathon. Spectators, family and friends can now begin registering for email and text message alerts for race day. These alerts, made possible by the official technology sponsor Cellcom, will keep everyone up to speed on their runner’s pace, progress and expected arrival times at specific mile markers.

To register, visit http://www.foxcitiesmarathon.org/updates.html. Participants and spectators then need to enter the bib number of each runner they want to track. Each email address and phone number can track up to 5 runners. This service can be utilized by anyone, whether it’s along the course, at home or across the country – regardless of the cellular provider.

People can also register at the Cellcom booth at the Affinity Health & Wellness Expo prior to the marathon on Friday, September 16 from 4 – 8 p.m. and Saturday, September 17 from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. at Fox Valley Technical College, Appleton.

Last year nearly 18,000 text messages and 5,800 emails were sent on race day. The same running-tracking technology is used at the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon and continues to grow in popularity
