the Nike Women's Marathon started in 2004 and is held annually during the fall in san francisco, ca (a half marathon option is also offered). the race is one of the largest philanthropic races to date, with proceeds benefitting the Leukemia and Lymphona Society. with such great response to the race over the last 18 years on the west coast (disclaimer: i can only assume.... i really haven't looked into an official reason for adding the DC 1/2 as that would just take too.much.effort... ya hear?), NWM has added an additional half marathon to take place in washington, dc in the spring of 2013. and this morning, registration opened for the random drawing to enter the race. sure, $160 is a little steep for a half marathon race entry fee, but the proceeds go to an incredible cause. i'll know between december 10 - 14th if my entry was drawn at random. looks like i better start training!
