Get registered

If you are planning to race, you need to register with LLS. Everyone is Tennessee should call the state chapter at 615-331-2980. The Northern and Central Florida chapter can be reached at 407-898-0733. Be sure to tell them you are racing as part of a multi-state team that will be running the Country Music HALF Marathon. My contact here is contacting each of the chapters to give them a heads up on our plan.

For those of us who need hotel accommodations, they'll help get us in the same hotel. The dinner the night before is generally seated by chapter, but the nice woman in Nashville said she'd work with us to get us at one table. At the race, we can run together in our timed groups. People with faster times can start with a slower group, but not vice versa. There is a party the night after the race, and we can all go together to that without any arrangements needed.

Please contact me if you have questions or need anything. So excited to be doing this!

What would he say

We can all imagine what Mark would say if we told him we wanted to run 13.1 miles for him. Even funnier would be his reaction if we asked him to run it!

The Country Music Half Marathon is ironically a part of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series. A couple of us thought we could do the race and raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It's really just a reason to get together again, remember Mark and support each other.

Anyone who wants to join us is welcome. There are lots of ways to participate if you don't want to run or walk the actual race. Click on the tabs across the top for more information about the race and use the short form on the "Join Us!" page to tell us how you want to help.
