Press Release - Victoria Marathon - 9/13/11

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                     GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon 
	            Regular Registration Deadline - September 15

(Victoria, BC - September 12, 2011) The regular registration deadline for 
the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon is just four days away - on 
September 15. To date, over 8,600 registrations have been received for all 
four events - the Marathon, Half Marathon, 8K Road Race and the Thrifty 
Foods Kids Run & Marathon. It is expected that there will be an increase in 
registrations over the next three days before the late registration fees 
apply. 

All four races have been capped - in 2009 and 2010 the Half Marathon sold 
out prior to race day. The Marathon is capped at 4,000; Half Marathon at 
6,800; 8K Road Race at 4,000 and the Thrifty Foods Kids Run & Marathon at 
1,000. 

"The temperature is perfect for training so if you have been thinking about 
registering, now is the time to stop thinking and make the commitment," 
says Cathy Noel, General Manager. "For those first timers to the event, I 
promise you that the energy you will feel at the start line, the 
encouragement along the course from other participants, and the people 
lining the route, will be memories you can look back on for years to come. 
Register now!"

The regular marathon entry fee is $105. The deadline also applies to the 
Half Marathon and the 8K Road Race where the fees are $80 and $40. After 
September 15 late registration fees will apply - $130 for the Marathon, $90 
for the Half Marathon and $45 for the 8K Road Race. The entry fee for the 
Thrifty Foods Kids Run & Marathon remains at $15 until October 9. 

Volunteers are still needed in many areas. "We are so thankful to all the 
volunteers that come back year after to year prior to race day and on race 
day," says Noel. "If you haven't registered yet to come back to your 
specific job, now is the time. If you are a new volunteer, we need your 
help in all areas of the event to make sure the participants are set up to 
run or walk their best possible race. Apply now online!"

The 32nd Annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon takes place Sunday, 
October 9th, 2011. For the third year in a row it will host the 2011 
Provincial Marathon Championships. There is $37,300 available in prize 
money with $3,000 each going to the top male and female and a $5,000 bonus 
for a new men's or women's course record. In 2006, Steve Osaduik broke a 
25-year record by winning the Marathon in 2:16:49. For more details, visit
