The Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco sold out in a matter of hours. But now the largest women’s marathon in the world is going online. Women runners around the world can register at nikeplus.com to run “alongside” the 20,000 participants in the Nike Women’s Marathon.
The virtual half marathon is a race without a distinct course, run in any city and tracked by each participant’s own Nike+ system (iPod nano, Nike + iPod Sport Kit and pair of Nike+ shoes). Online participants can run the half marathon any time on October 21 (the same day as the full marathon), but must finish the 13.1 mile run by 11:59 PM HST. As long as each participant successfully runs and syncs 13.1 miles with her Nike+ system on October 21, 2007, she will be considered an official Nike+ Women’s Half Marathon finisher.
Nike+ has also developed an interactive female-specific 12-week virtual training program, designed for those training for the marathons (see www.nikeplus.com/runtogether).

January 9th, 2008 at 1:57 pmCan anyone tell us when the registration for the Nike Women’s Marathon in San Francisco will open???
January 14th, 2008 at 3:10 pmDear MaryAnn, Amelyn, and Kathy,
The website to sign up for the race is nikemarathon.com. However, as far as we can tell they are not accepting applications yet for the October 2008 race.
I would check back in a month of two and by then they should have something up.
I’ve heard it is a great experience - so best of luck and have a great time!
Take care,
