Okanagan International Marathon 2007

Do you love running? If yes, then put on your running shoes and sign up for the Okanagan International Marathon 2007 which is being held on October 6th and 7th. Many of my friends who are avid runners have already registered for this event. I was talking to a friend the other day and told her that I lack stamina for running and might not be able to run very much. She educated me that the event managers of this Marathon will set up aid stations every mile (1.6km) and food and refreshments will be available at the finish line.

Moreover, this Marathon is not just restricted to one age group. People from all age groups can participate. Various age groups include: Under 19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60-69 and 70+. What is all the more exciting is that all marathoners, 21.1 K runners and marathon milers will be awarded a Souvenir Finisher's Medal upon completion of their event. All participants will receive a race T-shirt and entry for draw prizes following their event. Also, there are age group awards for the top 3 runners and walkers (male/female) in all timed events.

Now, if you are not a runner but would like to be part of this event then you can get involved with some aspect of this multi-layered event by being a volunteer. I feel that even by being just a volunteer one can lend a great support to one's community.

Looks interesting ! Isn't it? So,if you are ready to run then sign up here.
