2012 Nike Women's Marathon, San Francisco - Race Info


The Nike Women's Marathon will once again be held in San Francisco in October 2012 (on Sunday the 14th), and below is some essential information to know about the race (and about other races in the Nike Women's series).

It's never been easy to find details about this race on the various Nike websites, and this year is no exception. The good news is that Nike seems to have consolidated the information at its Nike Women's Marathon (NWM) Facebook page, www.facebook.com/NWM26.2 (page for NWM event info here). Note: you can find results for the 2011 Nike Women's Marathon and Half Marathon here, and it seems results for the 2012 marathon will be posted there as well.

If you're in this year's NMW in San Francisco, you'll find information there such as:
[NOTE: Regarding results for the Nike Women's Marathon, the FAQ page says, "After all of our races, results will be posted at Facebook.com/nwm26.2 within a few days." In other words, don't expect to be able to find the results posted anywhere soon after the event]

In addition, there will be a Nike Women's Half Marathon in Washington, D.C. in early 2013 (apparently it's been decided to have the full and half marathons on different days and different cities, instead of on the same weekend).

Registration for the NWM Half Marathon in Washington opens in mid to late October, depending on which web page you're reading. See the 2013 NWM Half Marathon website for more details when they become available, and enter your e-mail address there to be notified of updates.
