Think you have to be a runner to compete at the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon and Medtronic TC 10 Mile? Not so. Get in on the competition as a "spect-athlete" by participating in the 2010 ING Cheer Zone Contest.
Form a Cheer Zone
Get a group of your favorite friends, neighbors or co-workers together and decide on a theme. Play instruments, wave flags, crank up the stereo, wear costumes - do anything you can think of to keep the runners energized and spectators entertained. It's free to participate and we'll send you a kit to help you get going. Kits have Thunder Sticks, spectators' guides and other fun stuff to help your registered group get everyone fired up on race day.
You could be a winner
Your Cheer Zone could win $750 for first place, $500 for second place or $250 for third place to be donated to a recreation program, school, or neighborhood charitable organization of your group's choosing. Cheer Zones will be judged on enthusiasm and creativity.
Join in the fun
Registration is easy and free. Send a contact name, phone number and the address or location of your Cheer Zone to marlene@mtcmarathon.org. Cheer Zones must be located on the race course and if the location doesn't belong to someone in your group, you will need to secure landowner permission prior to registration. A course permit must also be filed and approved.
