FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HOLUALOA TUCSON MARATHON OFFERS DISCOUNT TO CHICAGO MARATHON RUNNERS
October 8, 2007 - Tucson, Arizona
Due to unseasonably high heat and humidity in the Mid-west over Columbus
Day weekend, many competitors in the 2007 Chicago Marathon were unable to
complete the event, or compete to the best of their ability. It is
unfortunate that so many athletes did not realize their goal at a
world-class, elite event such as the Chicago Marathon
Due to these circumstances, race officials for the Tucson Marathon Events
have decided to offer a $10 discount to all competitors who registered for
this year's Chicago Marathon. This offer is valid through November 22, 2007
and can be applied on-line through www.active.com using a special discount
code. (Please send an email to request additional details:
