"Think Global, Run Local?"

The World Wide Web, and the Internet have drawn people all over the world together, and dissolved barriers to communication and isolation. Runners, are by nature, social creatures who seek to share their experiences on the road, compete with each other, and establish friendships that transcend their individual beliefs, cultures and localities.

The sole purpose of the Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon is to remove the barriers to camaraderie, with the intention that like minded athletes who harbor this passion for running, could share a single experience of competing in a world wide event.

The Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon is a free, non-commercial event where everyone is invited to register, train and run with us in the spirit of friendship.

This unprecedented event is for runners of all abilities. New runners who are just starting out are invited to sign up, train and run a five kilometer event called "Kick the Couch 5k" with new runners all over the world who may never have thought it possible to rise off the couch and experience an active way of life.

Through this website (www.WorldWideHalf.com) you will be able to register for the event (Half Marathon or Five Kilometer races), choose and follow an online training schedule (through www.BuckeyeOutdoors.com) and run your choice of an official road race, or your own personally organized event on or about the weekend of October 11th and 12th.

As you participate, you will feel that you are part of a community of friends all over the globe, who will support you, encourage you, and are sharing this experience with you as you run your event locally.

Join us in this exciting and real global event. We look forward for you to share your piece of the world.

The Phedippidations World Wide Half Marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 Kilometers) and Kick the Couch 5k Race ( 3.1 miles).
 
Mel, what a great direction to take the WISH team in. Competing as a virtual team would be so exciting. Besides, I have a half scheduled for that weekend anyway...:rolleyes1

I see where there are teams registered. Has anyone looked into this? What an awesome opportunity for the WISH team to get our name out there and show ourselves in force!!

Looking at the FAQs on the website, it looks like anyone can create a team (altough I couldn't figure out exactly how). I sent "How do you create a team?" via the "contact us" link. I'll post the response when I get it.

I agree that this is a really cool idea!
