The MONTGOMERY HALF MARATHON and 5K

benefitting the Joy to Life Foundation

Saturday, October 2, 2010

The Montgomery Half-Marathon is quickly becoming one of the premier running events in the South. With a 13.1-mile half-marathon, The Capital City 5K and Mayor's Kids Mile fun run, there's something for everyone! By benefitting the Joy to Life Foundation, the Montgomery Half celebrates those who have won their fight with breast cancer, those who are still fighting the fight and honoring those who have lost their fight.

The event will be held on Saturday, October 2, 2010 with the race beginning at 7:00 a.m. CST. The Capital City 5K will begin at 7:30 a.m. CST with the Kid's Mile fun run beginning at 10:30 a.m. CST. On Friday night, October 1, the Runners Pasta Party will be held at the Union Station Train Shed on the Riverfront with the Post Race Party on October 2 -- complete with bar-be-que --taking place a short distance from the finish line.

Fundraising Rewards: Since the Montgomery Half benefits the Joy to Life Foundation, we would love to see as many Joy to Life supporters as possible sign up to participate and, most importantly, "go the extra mile" and help raise funds for Joy to Life! In fact, we're offering rewards to those who raise the most!

Volunteer Opportuntities: We also are in need of numerous volunteers to serve in a variety of areas on Friday and Saturday. View a list of the volunteer opportunities and sign up today.
