Registration postcards have been mailed to our 15,000 member mailing list
and monthly status updates will be posted to the website. We’ve also decided
to do gender specific short sleeve tech shirts in 2012, courtesy of
New Balance Brandywine / Christiana.
While the colors have yet to be formalized. There will be one color for
girls and another for boys. Also, we will do personalized bib numbers for
the marathon (and hopefully the half marathon) and text/email alerts of
splits and finishing times for the marathon and half marathon. Also, NKS
Distributors will again do pint glasses and Aztec Printing
will again do Memo from a Delaware Marathoner memo pads for all runners.
