Grandma's Marathon doubled the prize money that will be awarded to the top finishers of the 2008 Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon. A total purse of $14,000 will be distributed to the top eight finishers, male and female, in the open division. The top three finishers, male and female, in the 40 & Over Masters Divisions also win cash.

Top prize for the open finishers is $1,500, $500 more than last year, which was the first year for prize money for the Half. 40 & Over winners get $700, $500 for second, and $300 for third. The Open Division prize money breakdown is: first $1,500; second $1,000; third $800; fourth $700; fifth $600; sixth $500; seventh $250; eighth $150. Registration for the 2008 Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon is being conducted through an online lottery format. Those interested in participating can register for the lottery through Sunday, March 2 at www.grandmasmarathon.com. On Monday, March 3, 4,500 lottery participants will be randomly selected and notified via e-mail.

Only 900 spots remain for the 32nd annual Grandma’s Marathon. A total of 8,600 marathoners have signed up for the 26.2-mile event which, like the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon, will be held Saturday, June 21.
