Construction at Lambeau to affect marathon route

 Registration for the 2012 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon is scheduled to open November 1. Runners can register for the full marathon, half marathon or marathon relay events beginning that day.

“The demand to run the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon has risen sharply in the last several years,” said Sean Ryan, race director for the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. “There is an overall trend toward being more health-conscious, and our event is certainly benefiting from that lifestyle movement. We also see a lot of repeat participants. Once they come to Green Bay, runners want to come back. They like the support on the course, the organization and the flat-and-fast route that makes it a good first distance event for a new runner and a great Boston qualifier for someone looking to reach that goal.”

The courses have not been finalized for 2012, but the course has typically had a net elevation change around four feet. There is one major change planned for the route this season. Due to the construction scheduled for the south end zone of Lambeau Field, the 2012 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon routes need to be altered and will not take a lap around Lambeau Field during the final mile.

“The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon is an event that draws in the whole community and the Packers organization really enjoys being a part of the excitement,” said Aaron Popkey, assistant director of public relations for the Green Bay Packers, “We worked hard to find a way with the construction to get the runners through the stadium and weren’t successful for 2012. We look forward to having the course return to the inside of Lambeau Field in 2013.”

The final courses will be announced at the kick-off party in early January. The layouts may impact the final capacity, but right now race organizers are anticipating being able to add more runners.

From now until December 31, registration for the marathon is $75, half marathon is $60, and the marathon relay is $225 per team.

Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will open registration for the 2012 season on November 1, 2011. 

As a reminder we will only accept online registrations, which will be available under the registration tab of this website.  2012 race fees will be posted under the “Fees” link when they are determined.

The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon has a rotating charity model with three charities on staggered three-year terms.  Each year, an opportunity opens for a new charity to become a partner with the event.  In 2011, the marathon distributed nearly $130,000 to the CP Center, Family Services and Junior Achievement of Brown County. 

The CP Center’s charity term has expired and the marathon is now accepting charity partner applications for the 2012-2014 editions of the event.  Interested organizations should download the Application Guidelines (CLICK HERE) and submit an application letter by September 30, 2011. 

This year’s Cellcom Green Bay Marathon generated at total of $129,182.90 in proceeds for its three charities – a combination of direct fundraising through the Run for a Reason program, general fundraising (amounts raised for all three charities) and additional proceeds from the event itself. This brings the total donated by the event to local charity partners to more than a half million dollars ($539,000) over the past twelve years.

Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin, Junior Achievement of Brown County and Cerebral Palsy, Inc. each received their donation today at the CP Center in Green Bay.

The marathon is currently accepting applications for a new charitable partner for the next three years.  Application letters are due no later than September 30.  CLICK HERE to download the guidelines for applying.
