Air Force Marathon makes history; sells out full and half marathons Published Aug. 19, 2010 WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Ohio -- For the first time in history, the Air Force Marathon maxed out its full and half marathons. The 5k and 10K still have slots remaining. Runners wishing to participate in these events are encouraged to register by going on the website www.usafmarathon.com soon to secure a spot. This year's marathon already set a new record last week when it surpassed the longtime goal of 10,000 registered runners. "Registrations have just been flooding in this year," said Molly Louden, Air Force Marathon director. "We have increased our race caps in every category. The demand has been unprecedented." According to Louden, the Air Force Marathon has race caps for each event: full - 3,000 participants, half - 5,000 participants, 10K and 5K - 2,000 participants. "We are always conscious of our race caps to ensure that we can provide a successful event that is fun for all," said Louden. "These last two events are going to fill up quickly, so I highly suggest those runners who really want to join us for the 5K or 10K, sign up today." The Air Force Marathon presented by Northrop Grumman, USAA and Boeing will be held September 18, 2010 at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Other events include a half marathon and 10K to be held on the 18th. Wright State University and the Air Force Marathon will co-host a 5K run on September 17, 2010 at the Ervin J. Nutter Center. The Sports and Fitness Expo will also be held at the Nutter Center on September 16 - 17, 2010. For more information and to register visit www.usafmarathon.com.
