Race Registration Reminders

Park Ridge 5k: This race will be held next Saturday, March 20th at 8 a.m.  Childcare is provided and there is a 1 mile fun run at 9 a.m.  Horizons Church is a sponsor of this event once again and it should be a great time.  Race day registration is available.  http://www.racetimingunlimited.com/

Marine Corps Marathon:  The MCM is on Sunday, October 31st.  This race sells out quickly (only takes a couple days to fill to capacity).  If you are active duty military or reserves, you can register now.  For the rest of us, registration opens on April 7th.  I set a reminder on my calendar each year to make sure I don't miss out!  If you've never done a marathon before, now is a great time to commit.  You have PLENTY of time to train - even if you can't run a mile today - and this is in my opinion the BEST marathon for a first-timer.  (http://www.marinemarathon.com/Marine_Corps_Marathon.htm).
