Runners Register                                                           February 2013 
Greetings!

Our race organizing committee took a few months of much needed rest and we are now back to work on the countdown to our 4th annual event on Sunday, September 22, 2013.

Plans are well underway as we begin the process of applying for street closure permits, reserving City parks, and ordering supplies.  We are also working on our event marketing campaign and are quite pleased to have a full page promo in the 2013 Boston Marathon program to spread the word of our races to some of the world's best marathoners.

In mid-March, we will open event registration through our new provider Race Roster.  This innovative new online provider includes lots of great new tools for runners and organizers to share, fundraise and promote the event.  Full details in our next newsletter.

Until next time....keep on running!

Fundraising Opportunity for Sports & Community Groups

Our 26.2 mile race course requires hundreds of volunteers to assist with road marshaling duties.

We are reaching out to sports teams and community groups to help us meet our volunteer needs on race day.  So grab your team mates and colleagues - team wear and mascots encouraged - and help us man barricades as you cheer on our runners along the route.  In return, we'll make a donation towards your fundraising activities.

For more information on this great win-win opportunity, contact Cindy Orr, Volunteer Coordinator: volunteer@thunderbaymarathon.com

 

 

Thank you for your support.  Please help us spread the word by sharing this newsletter with your friends and family.

 

Sincerely,

 

Board of Directors
