Your ING Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon Race Team
Welcome runners to the 2009 ING Georgia Marathon!
Dear Running Friends,
Congratulations! As one of the racers joining us for the ING Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon, you’re about to experience one of the most beautiful running events in the country. Springtime in Atlanta is one of the most beautiful places to be. We are excited to share this True Southern Tradition and the best 13.1 miles and 26.2 miles that our city has to offer.
On race day you can look forward to:
To enhance your race weekend we want you and your friends and family to visit the Health & Fitness Expo at the Georgia Dome. You have two days, March 27 and 28 to pick up your registration packet, and hear one of several notable national speakers coming just to motivate you.
I wish you strength and dedication in the last few weeks of your training. Together with my race team, we’ll be waiting for you at Centennial Olympic Park on March 29 for the start of the third annual ING Georgia Marathon & Half Marathon.
Sharing in Strides,
