Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon Opens Monday

Registration for one of the toughest tickets in Minnesota road racing, the Garry Bjorklund Half Marathon, opens on Monday.

The entry process for the half marathon run in conjunction with Grandma's Marathon on June 18th, is conducted through a lottery in which 5700 participants will be randomly selected.

Beginning February 14 and continuing through February 25, registration will be available at GrandmasMarathon.com for all half-marathon hopefuls. Lottery participants can submit registration any time during the 12-day online registration period.

Participants will be randomly selected and their acceptance into the race will be confirmed via e-mail during the week of Feb. 28. Runners not selected will receive an e-mail notifying them that their entry was not among those chosen.

The entry fee for the 2011 race is $75, plus a processing charge. Only the 5700 runners selected through the lottery will have their credit cards charged.
