If you're looking for a closer and smaller marathon option, registration for Naperville Marathon begins Friday at 6am.

• Be ready - last year's event sold out in 14 hours.
  
• Early registration pricing is USD $85 for the Half Marathon and USD $115 for the Marathon.
  
• The 2014 Edward Hospital Naperville Marathon & Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, November 9, 2014 and will be a qualifying race for the 2016 Boston Marathon.
  
• The 2014 event will follow an entirely new route, and will be open to 7000 runners.
  

There was a large group from dgruns that ran this race last year. I thought they did a great job and I'm looking forward to running the half this year.

Set your alarm clocks.

Chicago Marathon lottery

Reminder; Chicago Marathon has moved to a lottery entry which opens tomorrow.

From their website:

Registration for the 2014 Bank of America Chicago Marathon will be conducted through a system of guaranteed entries and non-guaranteed lottery selected entries. The fee to register is USD $185 for U.S. residents or USD $210 for those residing outside of the U.S. The field will be capped at a maximum of 45,000 participants.

Interested participants will be able to 1) register with a guaranteed entry; or 2) enter the non-guaranteed entry lottery, at any time from Wednesday, March 5, at 12 p.m., to Monday, April 7, at 12 p.m. U.S. Central Time. Lottery entrants will be notified of their selection status on Monday, April 14.

Of course, if you don't run, you can always volunteer!  (more on that later).
