Frequently Asked Questions

WHEN WILL REGISTRATION OPEN FOR THE 2010 NIKE WOMEN'S MARATHON?
Registration for the 2010 Nike Women's Marathon will once again be held through a random drawing process. Runners can begin registering for the random drawing beginning Monday, April 5th at 9am PDT. Registration for the random drawing will close on Friday, April 16th at 11:59pm PDT.



CAN I REGISTER AS PART OF A GROUP?
Group registration continues to be one of the most popular features of registration for the Nike Women's Marathon. In past years, we have required the Group ID to be an email address of one of the group members. This year, to help lessen the chances for errors, we will provide the opportunity to obtain a Group ID before the random drawing. There are four steps:

STEP 1. Designate ONE person in your group to be the group leader
STEP 2. Group leaders must complete the Group ID Application form
STEP 3. Once the Group ID has been obtained, the group leader MUST send the Group ID to everyone in the group
STEP 4. Between April 5th and April 16th, every member of the group needs to input the Group ID in the appropriate box on their own random drawing application

WHAT IS THE RANDOM DRAWING PROCEDURE?
Participants must register online through SignMeUp.com between Monday, April 5th and Friday, April 16th to qualify for the random drawing. Only one registration will be allowed per person and duplicate registrations will be removed prior to the random drawing. Names will be drawn by a randomized and automatic computer program, and only runners selected for the 2010 Nike Women's Marathon will have their credit card charged for the race registration fee. Once credit card payment has been verified, accepted participants will be notified via email at the end of April. Note: If your credit card is not authorized, you will not be selected! Participants not selected by the random computer drawing will also receive an email in late April with this notification.
