Corrigan Sports Enterprises (CSE) announced today that the 2008 CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Frederick Running Festival is likely to sell out for the first time. The CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Marathon and Half-Marathon as well as the four- person team relay are sold out, while the Gazette Twilight 5K has only 50 spots remaining.

Overall registration is up 85 percent compared to this time last year as 5,200 participants have preregistered for the Running Festival.

The sixth annual CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Frederick Running Festival will take place May 3-4 and features fives races: marathon, half-marathon, four-person relay, 5K, and the new kids' fun run. There will also be a Health and Fitness Expo that will serve as the place for registration and packet pick-up. Everything, including the start and finish of each race, will take place at the Frederick Fairgrounds, which marks a new location for the event.
