Gulf Shores, AL (PRWEB) November 14, 2009 -- Drop that drumstick leftover, and escape the boredom of a typical Thanksgiving weekend in front of the television at the 2009 Kaiser Realty Coastal Half Marathon, 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run, which will be held the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 28) in Orange Beach, Ala.
The 2009 Kaiser Realty Coastal Half Marathon, 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run will be held the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 28) in Orange Beach, Ala.
Produced by Team-Magic and the Alabama Gulf Coast Sports Commission (AGCSC), this event features a scenic USATF certified course that begins at the Orange Beach Sportsplex, travels along a paved trail through a lush wooded area and progresses to the beach road (for the half –marathon only) before ending at the Sportsplex. The 5K and 1 mile run will be held completely on the paved backcountry trail. Except for packet pick-up at Tacky Jack’s on Friday, all race events – including the post-race party – will be held at the sportsplex.
“Last year, we debuted this race with Team-Magic as the perfect exclamation point to their successful string of 2008 events,” said Beth Gendler, director of sales for the AGCSC. “In its first year, the race had over 300 participants, which speaks volumes to professionalism of Team Magic and to the wide variety of activities that our beach destination offers. While the athlete in the family might be preparing for the event, the shoppers in the group always seem to discover our wide selection of uncrowded shopping venues to take advantage of those post-Thanksgiving sales.”
Addition to welcoming more athletes this year, the race also showcases over $5,000 in prizes.
Registration is $60.00 for the half-marathon, $30.00 for the 5K, and $15.00 for the 1 mile fun run. To register online, visit http://www.team-magic.com/events/kaisercoastal/index.html#register.
On Saturday, the half-marathon will start at 8:00 a.m. followed by an 8:15 a.m. start for both the 5K and 1 mile fun run. At 9:30 a.m., an awards ceremony for both the 5k and 1 mile fun run will be held and then at 11:00 a.m., the half-marathon winners will collect their awards. All race participants must complete their respected courses by noon. Be sure to stay at the Orange Beach Sportsplex for the post race party with Miller Genuine Draft Lite 64 and food from many local restaurants, including Tacky Jack’s.
