Thinking about running in the Air Force Marathon?
Well, you better get moving because 90 percent of slots for the full
marathon and 80 percent of slots for the half marathon are filled.
Despite making room for an extra 1,000 runners this year, the event is
going to sell out faster than anyone expected, said Molly Louden, race
director.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base hosts the annual event, which takes
place in September and injects more than $4 million into the local
economy.
“We want to ensure everyone knows that if you want to get into the race
of your choice, you better act fast,” Louden said.
In addition, registration fees increase for those signing up after June
1.
The Air Force Marathon is presented by Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC),
USAA and Boeing (NYSE: BA), and is expected to draw about 13,000
runners this year.
