2011 Marine Corps Marathon - Registration Opens at 12 Noon Wed., Feb. 23d

Registration for the 2011 Marine Corps Marathon opens at 12 Noon Eastern time on Wednesday, Feb. 23rd. You can go to the race's website, www.marinemarathon.com, to register, but if you go before Noon you'll be send to a splash page, telling you that registration opens at Noon. The race will set up a dedicated registration page at Noon.

The splash page also gives you additional information on registering for the 2011 race, including an email address for support (support@active.com) and a list of Marine Corps Marathon frequently asked questions (FAQ).

For 2011, the Marine Corps Marathon will be held on October 30th. The race course will be slightly different from the 2010 course, the organizers say, but the new course map won't be available until September.

The Marine Corps Marathon always fills up quickly, so you might want to check out the FAQ list first to make sure you've got all the information before you try to register.

Good luck!
