Fairfield County Progressive Marathon

2^nd Annual


Presented by

2010 – Series Begins March 14, 2010

Welcome to the home of the Fairfield County Progressive Marathon.

Participants complete 26.2 miles over seven races in various towns around Fairfield County, rather than completing the distance all at once, as would be done in a traditional marathon.

*****Current Announcements/Updates*****

· Westport Minuteman Date Correction:

The Westport Minuteman will be held on Sunday, May 2 (not Sunday, April 25). This will only affect you if you were planning to use this as an alternate race. April 25 will now be an available date for the time trial, which will hopefully accommodate everyone.

*Please note: This registration will register you as a series participant, but will NOT register you for the individual races. In order to participate in the Progressive Marathon, you must register for each of the component races independently (complete the required registration and pay the respective fee for each race, with the exception of the 3.2 mile time trial), AND you must register for the Progressive Marathon.

Registration for the Progressive Marathon must be received by April 3, 2010

**Those registering after March 14 must have run the first series race (St. Patrick's Day Classic) in order to be able to complete the Progressive Marathon.

Further information will be forthcoming, so please keep checking back as it will be posted here. If you have any questions in the meantime, email: fairfieldcountymarathon@yahoo.com
