     San Diego County Runners Wanted for Foot Locker County Challenge 
                at 10th Anniversary Rock 'n' Roll Marathon
     Foot Locker offers prize package to "middle-of-the-pack" runners

SAN DIEGO, Calif., (April 19, 2007) - Foot Locker has begun its search for 
six marathon runners from San Diego County to compete in the Foot Locker 
County Challenge presented by Sugoi at the 10th anniversary annual Rock 'n' 
Roll Marathon on June 3, 2007.

Known as the "race within the race," The Foot Locker County Challenge is a 
unique program in which local Rock 'n' Roll Marathon runners, three men and 
three women, are selected to represent their communities within San Diego 
County at the race. The group of six will run the first half of the marathon 
as a team. At the 13-mile mark, each member of the team is free to break 
away from the pack, and the participant who finishes the marathon in the 
fastest time captures the title of Foot Locker County Challenge Champion.

The winner of the Foot Locker County Challenge will receive a prize package 
including a two-night at one of San Diego's finest hotels and an exclusive 
trophy from Tiffany & Co.  All six participants in the Foot Locker County 
Challenge will receive VIP treatment throughout race weekend and will also 
receive exclusive Foot Locker County Challenge uniforms courtesy of Sugoi.  

Registered runners living within San Diego County who expect to finish the 
Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in an estimated time of 3:45:00 and 4:00:00 hours are 
eligible to complete a questionnaire about their running experiences and 
explain why they should be chosen to represent their community. Once the 
questionnaires are reviewed, a select group of applicants are interviewed 
via phone and in-person by a panel of Foot Locker and Elite Racing 
representatives.
 
Eligible applicants can register online at www.RnRmarathon.com. The deadline 
for applications is April 30, 2007. 

The athletes will be introduced at an official Rock 'n' Roll Marathon press 
conference on Thursday, May 31, 2007.  Participants will be featured on the 
regional broadcast of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon television show.
