Reminder: They will have Powerade as their sports drink, if that is not your usual brand of choice, give it a try before race day, on one of your last long runs to make sure it doesn't screw with your stomach. This includes testing how any gels/fuels might effect you as well. It's gonna hurt your time if you spend more time "sitting down" than running.
From the KDF website:
Less than 400 spots left for Festival Marathon and
miniMarathonBy: KDF Press OfficePosted: 4/6/2008 6:55:48 PM
Registration for the Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon and miniMarathon on
April 26 has currently surpassed 11,600 runners and is on pace to reach the
previously announced cap of 12,000 entrants within the next week. Those Runners
who are training for either race are STRONGLY advised to register now to ensure
a guaranteed entry. Registration is available at www.derbyfestivalmarathon.com.
Entry fees are $50 for the mini and $75.
“We’re thrilled that we have so many
runners who have registered already, but we want people to know that we’re
rapidly reaching our cap of 12,000 participants,” said Mike Berry, Kentucky
Derby Festival President and CEO. “If we reach the cap, we will not have
late registration available at the Expo. We hope people won’t delay and
will sign up now to avoid disappointment.”
Registration numbers for the
races have steadily increased over the past two years. The 2007 Derby Festival
races attracted a record 11,269 registrants, shattering the previous record of
8,651 set in 2006. For 2008, the Festival can only guarantee entry for the first
12,000 entrants to ensure the infrastructure is in place to support the runners
in the manner to which they are accustomed.
The race route will once again
include a lap around the infield at Churchill Downs; Marathon runners will
complete a short loop in Southern Indiana before returning to downtown
Louisville at about Mile 24....
