From the race director:
SERIES REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
JUST $160 FOR ALL 4 HALFATHONS
Greetings Athletes!
I sincerely hope this e-mail finds you well!
As you can see from the above sub-headline, registration is now open for athletes who want to register for our entire 4th Annual Florida Halfathon Challenge:
• Oct 28, 2012: 4th Annual Halloween Halfathon, Ft. De Soto Park, Tierra Verde
• Dec 9, 2012: 11th Annual Holiday Halfathon, Taylor Park, Largo
• Jan 20, 2013: 8th Annual Clearwater Halfathon, Coachman Park, Clearwater
• Mar 17, 2013: 4th Annual Beach Halfathon, Ft. De Soto Park, Tierra Verde
Based on the growth in the last few years (2,100 entrants to 3,951 athletes this season), combined with excellent feedback (and hopefully positive word-of-month, hint, hint), along with earlier and expanded marketing, I fully expect to host 4,500 athletes next season. You should also know I plan on adding upgrades in several aspects of our races.
I am working on completing all of our website changes and I expect the updates to be posted next week. In the interim, next season will be a carbon copy of this past season, with simply a change in dates.
Register today for the lowest entry fee of just $160 to the first 100 athletes to register ONLINE ONLY.
That $160 is for all 4 races, just $40.00 per race!
Once the first 100 athletes register, the entry fee will increase to $200 - that's still just $50 per race. From there, entry fees will increase as we get closer to the race as follows:
• $160 online only for the first 100 entrants
• $200 online only until July 1, 2012
• $220 online only until September 9, 2012
• $240 online only until October 26, 2012
So if you plan on joining us again next season, register right away to take advantage of our lowest entry fees. And as always, all early entrants are eligible for full refunds, should an athlete need to withdraw for any reason, as long as you advise us at least two weeks prior to the race you've entered.
NEW THIS YEAR
We now offer the option to register for 3 of our 4 halfathons . This is intended for athletes who know they can't attend all four halfathons, for athletes who already registered for one of our races, or for athletes who have a deferred credit from last season. PLEASE be mindful of which 3 races you are entering, as there are 4 options to cover the various combinations.
Top 5 Reasons why you should register now for the entire series:
1) Low entry fee of just $40 per halfathon.
2) Eligibility for full refunds should you need to withdraw for any reason.
3) Athletes who register for the entire series are assigned the same ultra-personalized bib numbers for the entire series, with name imprinted and number usually based on birthdates or ages.
4) Athletes who complete at least 3 of the 4 halfathons earn a final ranking and are eligible for series overall and age group awards.
5) Athletes who complete all 4 halfathons receive a limited-edition medal and limited-edition shirt to commemorate their achievement, in addition to all the other amenities earned along the way.
Register now on-line for the entire series!
