Still open for registration at http://www.nikemarathon.com/, the Nike 26.2
Marathon and Half Marathon for women will take place in San Francisco on
Sunday, October 24 and is expected to raise millions of dollars for The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The Nike 26.2 is inspired by the 20th anniversary
of Joan Benoit Samuelson's historic win in 1984 in Los Angeles. Benoit
Samuelson is serving as race ambassador and will participate in the marathon.
This race will be an annual event and is the first Nike marathon in the United
States for women runners and walkers of all ages.
"As if there weren't enough reasons to do the Nike 26.2 with it being in
beautiful San Francisco and benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, we
thought we'd add a few more incentives to really make the event unique," said,
Kellie Leonard of Nike. "Liz Phair is an exciting addition to the activities
surrounding the Nike 26.2 race weekend and runners will really be in the mood
to celebrate their race finish at her concert."
"We also all knew that a little blue box from Tiffany's would create some
excitement and probably help improve everyone's time as they race to the finish
line to get their commemorative Nike 26.2 necklace," said Leonard.
The Nike 26.2 will be a weekend-long celebration. Events and activities
include a race Expotique at Union Square featuring fitness consultations and
demonstrations, Macy's fashion shows and complimentary spa services open to
both registered runners and the general public.
Both the marathon and half marathon will start and finish on the Great Highway
outside Golden Gate Park and will run through the city of San Francisco ending
along Ocean Beach, allowing runners and walkers to enjoy both the city and the
coast line during the race. Running legend Joan Benoit Samuelson and CSI:
Miami actress Emily Procter will serve as ambassadors for the Nike 26.2
Marathon. Race sponsors include Jamba Juice, Macy's, PowerBar and The Beach
Chalet/The Park Chalet.
