Description
The fifth annual Maryland Half Marathon to benefit the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center will be held on Saturday, May 11, 2013, on a redesigned, faster course in the Maple Lawn community of Howard County. Registration for the 13.1-mile race is now open at www.mdhalfmarathon.com.
The 2013 event will feature Dozers Kids Fun Run, named in honor of the dog that jumped into the half marathon at Mile 5 and finished the 2010 race. Fundraising on behalf of the goldendoodle added more than $32,000 to the net proceeds from the race in the past two years.
There will also be a Kids Zone as well as live music. The half marathon starts at 8 a.m., and the kids race at 8:30 a.m. Registration for the half marathon is $75 until January 31, 2013; $85 for the month of February; and $90 from March 1 to May 11, 2013. Dozers Kids Fun Run is $15, and the Kids Zone is free.
