Registration for inaugural The Women's Half Marathon-Bloomington is open on womenshalfmarathon.com. The first 250 participants to register online for the August 26, 2012 race receive a special entry fee of just $50. Standard early registration for the half-marathon is $85 through April 30, 2012.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bloomington - Minneapolis South, located within walking distance of the start/finish area, serves as both the host hotel and the location of a two-day Health and Fitness Expo. The free expo, open to the public, features women-specific apparel and merchandise, book signings by running celebrities and packet and t-shirt pickup for runners.
The Women's Half Marathon features a patent-pending two-in-one finisher's medal and charm, a designer goodie bag, technical race shirt, live on-course music, cheer stations and an awesome post-race party featuring a cookie café with over 5,000 freshly baked cookies. Dave McGillivray, current race director of the Boston Marathon, and his Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises team will oversee all race day operations for The Women's Half Marathon - Bloomington.
Runners and walkers can register for The Women's Half Marathon-Bloomington and the Women's Running Magazine 5K, held at the same time and location as the half-marathon, by visiting womenshalfmarathon.com.
