A lot of people are asking where they can find finisher results, finisher photos and finisher certificates for the 2011 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon events.  Rather than making you hunt around the website, we decided to put these handy links on the front page of the website…

Thanks to everybody who participated in the 2011 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon!

Yesterday all participants in the full and half marathons ran an extra 800 feet due to incorrect course markings just after mile three. The certified courses for the half and full marathon were supposed to take a right off of Roscoe Street onto 14^th Avenue before turning right on Biemeret Street. Instead, runners were taken an extra 400 feet to 13^th Avenue, which added a total of 800 extra feet (.15 miles) onto the route.

We were alerted to the error after hearing multiple comments about inaccurate GPS readings at this particular point on the course. We know it’s common for runners who wear Garmin watches or other GPS devices to see differences in total distance due to the course being measured on the optimal, point-to-point line and runners straying from this line, but the consistency in these reports caused us to take another look.  We owe a thank you to those runners who weighed in on this matter.

We will be correcting this error in your results.  Gun times, chip times and mile 5 split times for all runners will be adjusted on our website by Tuesday afternoon. We have also talked to representatives of the Boston Marathon who have agreed to accept a database with adjusted finish times. Marathon runners can find their adjusted time by multiplying their current time by .9943. Half marathon runners can find their adjusted time by multiplying their time by .9886. Since these adjustments will affect ALL runners’ finish times, it will not change the overall or age group standings.  It may, however, impact whether you ran a personal record (PR) or a Boston Qualifying (BQ) time.  

On behalf of my entire staff, we apologize for the inconvenience and the extra distance that you ran on an already windy day.

Sincerely, 

 Sean Ryan
Race Director

More than 100 U.S. military personal on the USS Green Bay (LDP 20)  will take part in the Cellcom Green Bay 5K on the ship’s deck on May 14 as thousands of runners take to the streets of Green Bay.

The simultaneous 5K (3.1-miles) on the USS Green Bay will involve service men and women deployed with the ship. Participants on the ship will don official race bibs and receive finisher shirts and medals for their participation. Organizers of the Cellcom Green Bay 5K taking place on May 14^th sent complimentary t-shirts, bibs and even a start/finish banner for the soldiers.

“It is going to be a fun event for the sailors and marines, and gives them something to look forward to,” said ENS Tim Mahoney, who is organizing the event on the USS Green Bay and is originally from Green Bay. “We deployed in late February, and now is the time that the sailors and marines are really missing their loved ones back home. Having this event gives people something to train for daily, improves morale, and makes time pass faster.”

“I’m participating in the USS Green Bay 5K to show pride in my Navy service as a new Junior Officer and to invoke a spirit of physical readiness amongst my shipmates,” said ENS Jathan L. Davis, Damage Control Maintenance Officer  from Chicago, Illinois. “To me, being involved in this joint event with the city of Green Bay is an honor and a chance to connect with the citizens back home. Even though this is our first deployment and we are far from home, we are with them more than in spirit but also in physical stride. The people back home give us strength to continue to stay the course.”

“The USS Green Bay 5K is our way of honoring the courageous men and women of our armed forces who put their lives on the line every day,” said Sean Ryan, race director of the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. “It’s a small gesture for the work that they do every day to protect our freedom.”

The sailors and marines onboard have been deployed since late February and will return late in 2011. They service men and women aboard are from all over the world.
