The Cellcom Green Bay Marathon office closed registration for the 26.2-mile marathon at 1 pm on April 22nd, three weeks prior to the event. This officially closes open registration for all 2010 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon distance races. Participants may still register for the marathon or half marathon through the event’s charity fundraising program, Run for a Reason. This program enables fundraisers to create a web page that they may send to family, friends and co-workers soliciting donations for the marathon’s charity partners. These include the Boys & Girls Club, the CP Center and Family Services of Northeast Wisconsin. Upon raising $250 or more, fundraisers receive a free entry to any Cellcom Green Bay Marathon event. According to race director Sean Ryan, “the sell out of this year’s events is attributable to positive word-of-mouth about the event within the running community combined with growing participation in distance running in general.” Registration remains open for the Saturday, May 15th Cellcom Green Bay Mini-Marathon (2.62-miles) and the Wisconsin Public Service Kids’ Power Run (for children ages 10 & under). Both of these events pass through Lambeau Field and cross the marathon finish line.
