On October 17, 2010, the 7th annual nike free run femme Women's Marathon took place in San Francisco, California. I was one of the over 20,000 participants that toed the start line at the dark hour of 7:00 a.m. It was my second marathon (I ran the Portland Marathon in 2008), and definitely a wonderful race.

The nike free run homme Women's Marathon is open to both women and men. A full 26.2 mile certified marathon course is available, as well as a half-marathon distance race of 13.1 miles. If you are looking to qualify for the Boston Marathon, you can do so on this USATF-certified course. However, it is quite hilly and difficult, so be prepared!

Although I got into the marathon through the lottery - registering as a team with my sister and her friend, I know many others that have registered for the nike free 5.0 homme Women's Marathon throug Team in Training. Team in Training raises money for blood cancer research, and you'll have to do some fund raising to participate. Its a great way to accomplish your fitness goals while donating to a worthy cause. Supportive coaches will be with you throughout your training and while running the race!

The end of the nike free run 5.0 pas cher Women's Marathon is an extra-special treat for the ladies. San Francisco firemen, dressed in tuxedos, greet you as you cross the finish line. Each of them are holding a silver platter, piled high with blue Tiffany's jewelry boxes and tied with crisp white bows. Instead of a finisher's medal, you get a silver Tiffany's necklace. Each year's design is unique!
