(RRW) Athletics: Bloomsday Registration Deadline Tomorrow

From David Monti © 2007 Race Results Weekly, all rights reserved RaceResultsWeekly.com Watch over 50 IAAF Events Live and On-Demand at WCSN.com Runners wishing to register for the 32nd Lilac Bloomsday 12-K, scheduled for Sunday, May 4, in Spokane, Wash., need to act quickly to avoid the higher late-registration fee. Online registrants have until Sunday, April 20, to take advantage of the $15.00 entry fee at www.bloomsdayrun.org, one of the lowest entry fees of any of America's top road races. "We like to leave the online deadline open as long as possible so people can take advantage of Bloomsday’s low $15.00 entry fee," said Bloomsday race director Don Kardong in a prepared statement. "For anyone who procrastinates past the 20th, though, the fee jumps to $30.00." Those who miss the April 20 deadline will still be able to enter online from April 21 through 27, but the late entry fee of $30.00 (plus processing fee) will be in effect. After the 27th, late entrants will need to wait until Bloomsday weekend to sign up. With 40,323 official finishers last year, the Lilac Bloomsday 12-K is one of the largest races in the United States. Subscribe to the Runner's Web Weekly Digest
