Dallas-based US Road Sports and Entertainment Group is proud to launch 13.1 Marathon™, a series of races that will give runners and walkers a chance to participate in a stand-alone 13.1™ mile race in some of the most popular running communities nationwide.
13.1™ Fort Lauderdale is first timer friendly and perfect for marathoners in training and other experienced runners. The field will be limited from 2,000 to 5,000 participants to enable novice walkers and runners a less intimidating race experience compared to events with over 10,000 racers. For marathoners, including those training for winter marathons like the ING Miami Marathon and Half Marathon, 13.1™ will offer the perfect weekend long run on a closed course fully supported with aid stations, spectators and everything a runner would want as part of a fun race experience.
13.1™ Fort Lauderdale, along with the rest of the series races, have been created in response to the growing demand for half marathons and support for the distance as a race for people looking for a lifetime accomplishment. While 13.1™ miles have quickly become the distance of choice for thousands of people around the world, the 13.1 Marathon™ series will become the race of choice for runners of all levels . The THIRTEEN.ONE MARATHON™ series currently consists of four races for 2009 in major cities including Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, and Fort Lauderdale.
