REGISTRATION

Registration for the Nike Women Half Marathon D.C. will be held through a random drawing process. You may apply at any time during the registration period; registering early does not improve your chance of being selected.

Random Drawing registration period:
Friday, November 16th through Thursday, December 6th at 6PM ET.

Complete an application for the random drawing between November 16th and December 6th at 6PM ET. All participants must first register with a Nike+ profile and complete the registration form to be entered into the random drawing. As part of the application process, you will be required to provide a credit card number and accept the specified fees. Limit one entry per person regardless of method of entry. Only one entry may be completed per email address and Nike+ profile. Multiple entries submitted by a single entrant or with the same email address are void and may be grounds for complete removal from the Nike Women Half Marathon D.C. race. Please note that your credit card will not be charged unless you are selected to participate in the race.

Participants must apply online between November 16th and December 6th, 2012 to qualify for the random drawing. Only one application will be allowed per person and if duplicate applications are submitted, all applications will be removed and made VOID prior to the random drawing. If your name is selected, we will attempt to process your payment. Only runners whose payments are successful will be offered a place in the race. Once credit card payment has been verified, all participants will be notified via email whether they are accepted or declined.

Random Draw accept/decline status notification will be sent via email between December 10th-14th, 2012

Participants selected through the random drawing will be notified via email between December 10th - 14th, 2012.

PLEASE NOTE: There are many ways that emails may not be received as intended. We suggest that you follow the steps below to ensure that you receive emails from Nike and NWM.

To ensure our emails do not end up in your spam folder, please add nike@official.nike.com and nwm@obexp.com to your safe sender email list to receive all registration announcements and information about the Nike Women's Marathon San Francisco and/or Nike Women Half Marathon D.C. additionally, you can follow us at facebook.com/NWM26.2.

If at any time you opted-out or unsubscribed from receiving future email messages from Nike, then you will not be sent an email notifying you that registration is open, even if you have participated in past NWM events.

The Nike Women's Marathon has become a sellout event. Due to the high demand for registration, we believe a random drawing format makes registration fair for all interested participants.

You will not receive an email confirming your application into the random drawing. Instead, you will see a screen at the end of the application process confirming your successful entry. Twenty-four hours after registering in the random drawing, you can visit the searchable database at FACEBOOK.COM/NWM26.2 to verify your application status.

Women or men who are eighteen (18) years or older as of the race's specified date may apply to participate in the Nike Women Half Marathon D.C. Runners under the age of 18 will need their parent or guardian to sign for them at time of registration.

Random Drawing Registration opens Friday, November 16th at 12PM ET and continues through Thursday, December 6th at 6PM ET.

As a Nike sponsored event, we are integrating participation with the Nike+ Running technology that will provide all participants with unique training and race weekend experiences. We are excited to offer a physical race experience that will be integrated with Nike+ and will connect all Nike Women Half Marathon D.C. runners with the world's largest online running community. After registration we will share more ways to enhance your training and race weekend experience through Nike+.

Registering with a Nike+ profile is free. If you have an iPhone or Android device, then you can download the free Nike+ Running App here.

There are several additional devices that are integrated with Nike+ Running technology and you may utilize any of the devices as part of your participation. For more information and help choosing a Nike+ device, go here.

You can visit the Nike+ Running section of NikePlus.com to learn more about Nike+ technology and the Nike+ community.

Yes, if you are interested in registering as a group, you can obtain a Group ID prior to registering in the random drawing. The ONLY reason to register as part of a group is if you and your friends only want to run the race if you are all together. During the random drawing selections, the group is either accepted as a whole or not at all. Registering as a group does not increase your chances of being selected and having a larger group also does not increase your odds of being selected. If you would like to register as a group there are FOUR easy steps:

STEP 1. Designate ONE person in your group to be the group leader.
STEP 2. Prior to registering in the Random Drawing, the group leader must obtain a Group ID by completing the Group ID application form here.
STEP 3. Once the Group ID has been obtained, the group leader MUST copy, paste and send the Group ID to everyone in the group. All group members need to copy and paste the Group ID into their individual random drawing registrations to reduce the chances of typos.
STEP 4 Once the Random Drawing opens, every member of the group needs to input the Group ID in the appropriate box on her own random drawing application. Your Group ID must be entered correctly to be considered. If your group is selected and you mistyped your Group ID during registration, you will not be included in that group. Each participant must enter with her own email/Nike+ profile to be accepted. Groups do not register under one email address.

With the large number of registration we receive through the random drawing open period, we are unable to adjust individual registration information and change/add group members or add a Group ID to an already completed registration.

Yes, runners have the opportunity to enter as either an individual or as part of a group using a group ID, but cannot enter as both. Duplicate entries (either as a group and individual or in multiple groups) are VOID and will be grounds for complete removal from the Random Drawing. Additionally, runners participating in the College Student Registration Program may not enter as part of a group or both entries will be made VOID and may be grounds for complete removal from the Nike Women Half Marathon D.C. race.

Once registration announcements have been sent (between December 10th-14th, 2012) visit Facebook.com/NWM26.2 to see results of the random drawing selection. If you cannot find your name, make sure you have entered your information correctly in the query fields. If you still cannot find the registration, please email NWM@OBEXP.COM or call us at 1-866-RUN-NIKE.

THE CAUSE

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TNT) is the world's leading endurance sports charity training program. Participants raise funds to support lifesaving cancer research. In return, they receive personalized training from certified coaches, training clinics, and the support and camaraderie of a team. Participants can choose from more than 200 exciting endurance events in the U.S. and abroad. A key element of the TNT experience is training in honor of a local blood cancer survivor whose courage provides motivation and inspiration. And now there is TNT Flex, a customized, online training option developed by TNT's renowned coaches. To learn more about TNT or to attend an informational meeting in your area, visit teamintraining.org or call 1.800.482.TEAM.

Nike and TNT have enjoyed a very rewarding partnership since 2002, and look forward to a long run.

Since Team In Training's inception in 1988, nearly half a million participants have raised over $1 billion to support LLS's research and patient services programs. Since the first Nike Women's Marathon San Francisco to Benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in 2004, TNT participants in this event have raised more than $128 million.

People of all ages - from novices to seasoned athletes - participate in Team In Training. Novice athletes succeed in the program with the help of personalized coaching as well as a supportive and friendly team environment. Everyone participates in honor of a patient, which provides a strong motivation to succeed.

No. Although 1/4 of all participants have trained through TNT, many runners have trained on their own and raised funds through The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Make Cures Happen program.
