Registration Update 1-5-2010

The 2010 Traverse City State Bank Marathon and Half Marathon have filled. Registration for the 2010 Traverse City State Bank Bayshore opened on December 1st. As we have stated here since we opened, registrations were well ahead of last years pace. Mailed entries for the Full Marathon postmarked after 1-4-2010 will not be accepted and will be returned. Mailed Half Marathon entries postmarked after December 19, 2009 will not be accepted and will be returned. Online registration for the Marathon and Half Marathon is closed. Registration for the 10K Run is still open.

We do not have waiting lists for the Marathon or Half Marathon. If we have any openings in the Marathon we will reopen online registration around March 1st, then again around April 1st, and finally around May 1st. Check back here before each of these dates for more details. Registration must be done online and online registration will remain open only long enough to fill the vacant spots at that time.

If we have any openings in the Half Marathon we will reopen online registration around May 1st. We must wait until then to allow any Marathon runners who registered before the Half Marathon filled the opportunity to switch to the Half. Registration must be done online and will only remain open long enough to fill any vacant spots.

Please remember that runners registering for the Marathon after the Half Marathon fills are not eligible to switch to the Half.
