Covered from Registration to Race Day!

The excitement continues to build for the inaugural ING Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon! And judging by the number of early registrants, quite a few of you are going to be part of that excitement on March 25th. For those who noticed (we did), September 25th marked the six-month countdown to the race. That may seem like a long way to go, but now's the time to start planning so all goes well from the time you start training through the moment you cross the finish line. Big Peach Running Co. and Mizuno USA have got you covered...all the way from Registration to Race Day.

With this in mind, we are very pleased to announce the "Registration to Race Day" Series presented by Mizuno and Big Peach Running Co. It's purpose? To help all who are participating or considering participation in this first-time event OR those who are simply planning to stay fit through the coming months. More specifically, we want you to get the most out of your winter training!! Each month leading up to the race, Big Peach Running Co. will host a clinic that will cover a critical component related to race day preparation. Here's a glimpse of the events that will be included in the series: 

"Registration to Race Day" presented by Mizuno & BPRC

Oct 14 & 21, 2006: Selecting Proper Footwear
Nov 18, 2006: Staying Injury Free (Dr. Perry Julien)
Dec 16, 2006: Training & Racing at the Correct Pace (and a "Predict Your Pace" run)
Jan 18, 2007: Nutrition & Hydration for Training and Race Day (Dr. Nancy Clark)

All events will be held at Big Peach Running Co. Atlanta or Marietta locations.

Mizuno "Test Drive"
In addition to the subject matter shown above, each event in the series will offer a chance to "test drive" your choice of Mizuno shoes! That's right, whether it's a stability or neutral shoe or even a lightweight performance trainer, just let Big Peach Running Co. know in advance what size you need and you'll have the chance to give them a test run right from the store...for as many miles as you want! If you've ever considered running in Mizuno, or if you've just been curious as to how they feel after a few miles, now's your chance to take them for a spin (keep in mind that sizes are somewhat limited and reservations for sizes will be on a first-come, first-served basis...see below to register).
