Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge

Calling all Marathon Moms! We want you to "Be a Part" of the 2009 Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge, a race within the ING New York City Marathon.

This is a great opportunity to connect with other runners who are moms just like you -- managing busy schedules including children and family, careers, and on top of it all making time to train for a marathon!

One representative will be chosen from each New York City borough to form a team of five runners for the Challenge. The team must run the first 13-miles of the Marathon together, and then they can break away for the remainder of the race.

The Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge team will be treated as VIPs during the pre and post race festivities, and will be featured on the WNBC-TV live television broadcast of the ING NYC Marathon on November 1.

The marathon mom who finishes in the fastest time will become the Foot Locker Five Borough Challenge Champion, and win a Tiffany trophy and citywide bragging rights.

To qualify, you must be a working mother, living in one of the five New York City boroughs and an ING New York City Marathon 2009 accepted entrant who can complete the marathon in 3:00 to 3:30.

Send your inspiring marathon mom story, along with your name, age, borough of residence and expected finish time to FL5BC@nyrr.org. We must receive your story by July 13.
