First Marathon for Women Over 40
MORE magazine
in partnership with the New York Road Runners will present the first
marathon for women over 40 on Sunday, March 21, 2004 in New York Cities
Central Park. Even if you are not 40 yet, you can team up with a family member or friend who is over 40 and run as a two-person team.
The presenters decided to sponsor this marathon because they felt that this generation of women
has come of age pushing their limits and proving their stamina. They
stated that "'[j]ust because you've reached midlife doesn't mean you have to stop exceeding everyone's expectations. Whether you're a casual jogger or marathon veteran, take part in this historic event!'"
Women who will be over 40 by March 21, 2004, can register to run the full marathon as an individual
or register to run 13.1 miles with a partner. Women who are under 40 can register to run 13.1 miles with a partner who will be over 40 by March 21, 2004. Runners serving as partners to over-40 runners must be at least 12 years old. Race registration will take place from December 17, 2003 through March 21, 2004.
