Chicago Marathon registration closing imminent

This is the copy of an e-mail I received earlier today.

Registration for the 2008 Bank of America Chicago Marathon is rapidly approaching its 45,000 participant capacity. Only a few thousand open entries are still available. If you are interested in participating in the 2008 event, we encourage you to register now before the field is full. To register, visit chicagomarathon.com.

Once open registration is closed, entry into the 2008 race can still be obtained through our official charity partners or affiliated international tour groups. For more information on these options, visit chicagomarathon.com.

    The marathon now says it is full! Yet, the confirmation site only shows 39,145 registered runners. Any insight?

    I got an e-mail yesterday, not from the marathon directly, that it would likely sell out today.

    My guess is the charities have the 5,000 entries.

    Hey everyone!



    I was wondering, since you are already signed up for the marathon, if you would like to join the American Institute for Cancer Research's team? It is completely free and you will receive many great benefits (free t-shirt, a pre-race pasta party, etc). It is for such a great cause-cancer prevention through health and nutrition research- and we would love to have you on our team. Please message me or my supervisor, Katy Tyrrell if you have any questions. Katy's e-mail address is k.tyrrell@aicr.org



    Thank you so much again and I hope you decide to join in our great cause!



    Sincerely,

    -NIkki and Team AICR
