Moore’s Marines Update:
We thank everyone for responding to our informal survey to
determine interest from first time marathoners interested in receiving a
guaranteed entry and running the 2008 Marine Corps Marathon with the
Annapolis Striders Moore’s Marines as your first marathon.
We have submitted the results of our survey to the Marine Corps
Marathon so that sufficient guaranteed entries are set aside for our first
timers who responded to our survey.
We will post the formal Moore’s
Marines entry form on the Annapolis Striders web-site in a few weeks. The Marine Corps Marathon will supply the
guaranteed entry information, based on the survey, to the Annapolis Striders
further on in the summer and we will provide it to our first timers who
actually are participating in the training to register.
We will start and finish our long runs at Jonas
Green Park,
at the base of the Naval Academy Bridge
over the Severn River. We run out and back from the Park to the
B&A trail and run the appropriate distance on the trail, back to Jonas Green Park. Beginning in late June we will run every
Saturday morning starting around 6:30
or 7:00 am.
Please train over the next few months to be able to run 10 miles
comfortably.
If you are not a first timer, want to run the MCM, and wish to train with us, please check out
the MCM website www.marinemarathon.com . The MCM
has advised that “runners from across the country and around the world can
register on a first come, first served basis by clicking the link to
registration on the MCM website,
www.marinemarathon.com, beginning
at noon eastern on April
30th. The race field is
limited to 30,000 participants and is expected to fill up quickly.”
