The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will shift to a two-day format beginning with the May 2010, with events going through Lambeau on both Saturday and Sunday race day weekend.
Moving to a two-day format will create less congestion on Sunday morning, which has been a concern for runners and organizers as the event has grown. Since its inception in 2000, the marathon has offered a marathon, marathon relay, half marathon and 5K on the third Sunday in May each year. The Wisconsin Public Service (WPS) Kids’ Power Run has traditionally taken place on Saturday but was based at the WPS Corporate Headquarters grounds in downtown Green Bay. The short distance events will now move to Saturday and the marathon, half marathon and marathon relay will continue on Sunday.
The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon has selected Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin as the new charity partner for 2010. Family Services will join the Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay and Cerebral Palsy, Inc. as the recipients of funds raised by the 2010 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon.
Marathon charities operate on three-year terms, with one new charity added each year and one exiting charity each year. Charity organizations become a strong member of the operational team made up of mostly volunteers to put on this event. Family Services was selected from a group of 20 applicants.
