*_OMRUN Marathon / Half Marathon SIGN-UP_*
Hari OM,
New Year is just around the corner. If you are looking for a New Year
Resolution or you missed out going for the ½ marathon in 2010 OMrun,
the time has come. This year, the OMrun team is happy to announce 2
long distance events, half and full marathon in addition to the 5K/
10K
run and the walkathon. The half and full marathon are events
organized
by external agencies. The race capacity (for the half and full
marathon events) and hotel accommodations (for the full marathon
runners) can fill up fast. This requires us to plan ahead and collect
some basic information regarding the event you will be interested for
the 2011 season. Here is a brief overview of the half and full
marathon events we will be training and registering for
*Half Marathon* -- Oakland half marathon (*March 27, 2011*) Excellent
reviews for this event
*Full marathon* – Avenue of the Giants / *May 1, 2011* (Humboldt –
Close to Krishnalaya Ashram in Piercy): One of the best West coast
marathons under the tall Giant Redwood trees
The OMrun Training team comprised of experienced mentors will provide
training that will take you from 0 to 13.1 or 26.2 miles respectively
in a motivational and fun team-setting.
Training starts in earnest on JAN 8^th in SAN JOSE and JAN 9^th in
FREMONT and SAN RAMON -- 8 AM and will culminate on the dates
mentioned above for the 2 events.
More details regarding the structure of the training program will be
provided at the training program kickoff on Jan 8^th (San Jose) and
Jan 9^th (Fremont, San Ramon).
ELIGIBILITY – If you have not done any running or walking, ½ marathon
is recommended; If you participated in any of the OMrun or other
events last year (5K,10K,1/2M), then you can do a full marathon in
this timeframe.
