Gold Medal Challenge Full

Yes, we have found 40 people who are crazy enough....I mean brave enough, to tackle the Gold Medal Challenge. For those uneducated folks, that means running the Half Marathon on Saturday and the Full Marathon on Sunday. And yes, the field includes both two-time defending champions, Steve Tietz and Mary Flaws.

All-PRO Sponsor!!

This week's featured sponsor is Performance Running Outfitters. PRO is the Milwaukee area's fastest-growing specialty running store with three locations: Brookfield, Oconomowoc and Shorewood. They are the title sponsor of the Half Marathon.

PRO has a crazy big selection of running shoes, apparel and accessories. They cater to beginning and casual runners as well as the serious ones. Perhaps their most valuable assets are their skilled employees who are known for providing excellent customer service and for giving great shoe fits. See for yourself at one of their three convenient locations and make sure to thank them for sponsoring the Icebreaker Indoor Marathon.

New Sponsor

Over the next week we are going to feature some of our 2012 sponsors. The first one is Revolution Natural Running, which is sponsoring the 5k race. Revolution is the Midwest’s first shoe store dedicated to minimalist footwear for runners and walkers of all ages, abilities, and experience levels. They follow the science behind footwear, and blend their health care expertise and running knowledge to help improve runners' performance and keep them running and walking injury free. Revolution Natural Running is located at 11702 W. North Avenue in Wauwatosa. You can also check out their booth at the Icebreaker packet pickup. Please support our sponsors!

Marathon Sold Out

The Marathon is now filled up. There are still 5 spots left for the Gold Medal Challenge. The heavy action has been in the Half Marathon lately and there is now less than 100 spots left for that and they are going fast. Still plenty of spots left in the 5k and the Marathon Relay.

Another Update....

Just 2 spots left for the Marathon and 6 for the Gold Medal Challenge! By the time you read this, they may be gone!

Going, going.......

Just 12 spots left for the Gold Medal Challenge and 18 for the Marathon at the Pettit Center. We don't expect them to last much longer.

Having Trouble Registering?

Over the past several weeks there have been some people who had trouble registering through the Indoor Marathon website. When they click on the registration buttons, nothing happens. There is a reason for this, but we aren't sure why it's happening. If you experience this problem, here is a direct link to the registration site.
