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.

Kinetics and atmos Girls work on Columbia’s classic Trail Mid

For their seventh anniversary atmos Girls calls upon Kinetics and Columbia to throw a bit of a celebration. Kinetics and atmos Girls work on Columbia’s classic Trail Mid, which is usually seen in leather, by covering the shoes in brown suede. Light pink accents on the heel tab, tongue and sole piping, accompanied by bright yellow laces set these kicks off. Pick these up at select retailers now at ¥13,125.



This shoe provides excellent cushioning and moderate support. Though the shoe does run a little larger especially in the forefoot region, the flywire around the midfoot wraps around the foot really well. Overall, one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever ran in and I would definitely recommend this shoe! This was the best shoe that i've ever ran with. It lasted me forever and the weight of the shoe is unbelievably light. Very good shoe! I have had many different running shoes and I have found my new favorite. Good support and very comfortable. I have found my next pair of running shoes in this shoe.

Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer-Black/Dark Grey-Matte Silver-Varsity Red

He design is such that Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer-Black/Dark Grey-Matte Silver-Varsity Red almost make your legs move.

The latest feature a black synthetic and nubuck shell, with dark grey used for the midfoot cross-strap, heel Swoosh and midsole. Matte silver works in the inner bootie and outsole, while minimal hits of varsity red can be seen on the tongue and outsole.

Look for these to hit stateside retailers in November. You can stop by Japan’s Sports Mario and pick them up early.I purchased Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer sneakers because I saw someone from the UK wearing them in Cancun and they are awesome, very comfortable!
