Wright-Patterson AFB, OH - If you're planning to run in the Air Force
Marathon on September 18 but haven't registered yet, now is the time to

In addition to saving money on the race, there is another compelling reason
to sign up now. You may not get in if you don't. According to Race Director
Molly Louden, the full marathon is 75% full, and the half marathon is more
than 65% full. "Registrations are up almost 70% over last year's numbers,"
said Louden. "We have increased our race caps in every category, and we
still anticipate selling out before race day."

To encourage those who have been delaying registration until the last
minute, the Air Force Marathon is running an All Access Prize Promotion
through August 1st. Everyone who is registered by then will be eligible to
win the All Access Prize, which consists of hotel stay, tickets to the
pasta dinner and race director's breakfast, VIP parking, DV passes and
more. Second and third place prizes will also be awarded. Complete prize
