Event Description
Join us for the fourth annual I Run For... Marathon. This will be a lovely fall run in the country, offering beautiful scenery and a peaceful vibe. Our marathon is a rolling, double out-and-back run, using USATF-certified course NY15072JG. The I Run For... Half Marathon Organization is a club member of, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit group through, the Road Runners Club of America. Net proceeds from our race will benefit cancer research and quality-of-life programs for cancer patients.
We offer a special entry fee of $30 for cancer survivors as well as active and retired military, fire and police personnel. When you register, check the box for "Cancer Survivor/Military/Police/Fire Discount", and the registration system will make the appropriate discount taking you from full price to the $30 special price.
Race entry fees are not refundable under any condition. Entries can be transferred with permission from the race directors. Contact Anne Seepersaud if you have questions or need to transfer a bib.
NEW FOR 2018: TEAM SPIRIT CHALLENGE
We know you have spirit, so get your workmates, family and/or friends together and come represent at the 2018 I Run For… Half Marathon, 5K and Marathon. You can show your colors in our inaugural Team Spirit Challenge. Instead of recognizing the team with the fastest race times, we want to offer a prize true to the spirit of “all faces, all paces.” The team that brings the most runners to our event (half marathon, 5K and marathon runners combined) will get a cool trophy and bragging rights. On top of that, we’ll give a portion of our net proceeds to the cancer-related charity of the winning team’s choice. When you register for the race, make sure to enter your group’s name, so you’ll be counted in the Team Spirit Challenge. Discounted entries are available for groups of more than 10 runners. Contact us at irunforhalfmarathon@gmail.com if you want to take advantage of the discount, or if you have any other questions.
This year, we are participating in the Empire Road Race Series, a partnership of eight Binghamton-area events. Run races, get swag. Be sure to register for the series (there's no additional charge) so you don't miss out on the fun. (half marathon, 5K and marathon all count toward Empire series prizes)
