ZOOMA Annapolis Half Marathon & 10K is slated for Saturday, June 2, 2012 at the patriotic Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Making the event even more notable is ZOOMA’s new charity partner--The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TNT).
Runners may join TNT and receive a comprehensive program that helps achieve a specific goal. With more personalized help than other local training options at clubs and gyms, runners can be a part of a powerful force of almost 500,000 participants who have raised more than $1 billion to support blood cancer research and patient services. Those who wish to become involved can:
* Register to run as part of TNT for ZOOMA Annapolis, a fantastic spring event.
* Speak to a live staff member by calling the National Capital Area Chapter at (703) 399-2942.
* Join TNT for one of their free team workouts. Runners can simply call to find out where the next training will be.
* Follow TNT on Facebook to learn more about specific events and to connect with participants and alumni.
About the ZOOMA Annapolis Course
ZOOMA Annapolis takes runners on a tour of one of America’s great seaside towns. Typically, runners feel a great sense of patriotism as the National Anthem is played before starting at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Out on the course, runners loop around the Maryland State House before running past the Naval Academy. Once across the challenging but beautiful Naval Academy Bridge, racers enjoy an out-and-back section that allows plenty of racer-to-racer cheers and support, as well as views of Round Bay, an inlet off the Chesapeake Bay.
In true ZOOMA style, there will be post-race live music, refreshments from Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, delicious edibles and a festive environment in which to celebrate a huge accomplishment.
