MELBOURNE, Fla. - (November 1, 2011) - The State Farm Melbourne & Beaches 
Music Marathon Weekend has announced that Central Florida elite runner 
Jessica Crate has again agreed to conduct the event's official training 
camp.

The Melbourne Music Marathon Weekend is scheduled for February 4-5, 2012 
and offers runners race distances of 5K, 8K, 1/2 marathon, full marathon 
and 1/2 marathon relay.

The training camp will focus on the 8K and 1/2 marathon distances and is

Crate, 26, a Canadian national champion runner and Varsity Collegiate

three-time champion of a local running series and is running the ING New

the USA Triathlon National Team at the 2012 World Olympic Triathlon 
Championships in Auckland, New Zealand.

Jessica, who qualified and ran as an elite runner in the 2011 Boston 
Marathon, also is the 2011 women's winner of the Gasparilla Distance 
Classic in Tampa.
