Seafair Half Marathon

SUNDAY: June 29th, 2008.......... 7:05 am

WHEN, WHERE AND HOW LONG IS THE HALF MARATHON?
The Seafair Half Marathon takes place at 7:05 am, Sunday, June 29, 2008.  It is 13.1 miles, which could take anywhere from 4 to 7 hours depending on your pace.

HOW DO I REGISTER?
Send the Sound Steps Seafair Half Marathon registration form in this booklet to Mari Becker at 8061 Densmore Avenue No., Seattle, WA 98103. We will send you the official Seafair form in the beginning of May, to return to us by June 1 with entrance fee of $40 (discounted). You can choose to pay using your own money, or take part in a group and individual fundraiser to raise your amount.

I’VE NEVER WALKED VERY FAR BEFORE. CAN I REALLY DO IT?
Yes! You can do it, as long as you follow the training plan that we provide for you. Talk to your doctor about any concerns before starting the training program. If you haven’t already been walking more than once a week, begin increasing so that you’re walking at 4 times a week.

WHAT DOES THE TRAINING INVOLVE?
Training includes walking 4 times per week – three shorter walks, plus one long walk. You are welcome to do the entire training on your own, but we also offer group walks especially for the longer walks. You can take breaks as you walk, but take your own training seriously. You want to be well prepared.

DO I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SCHEDULE EXACTLY?
No, but you should use it as an approximate guideline. You need to be walking 4 times per week, including one longer day. This will help you maintain your fitness level while increasing your endurance. But don’t let vacation or sick days stop you – just start up where you left off. We recommend taking a rest day the next after your long walk, but besides that just walk on whichever days work best for your schedule. If you already walk further than what is listed for the begging training days, just start following the program later on.

WHAT SUPPLIES WILL I NEED FOR THE TRAINING?
The most important thing is to have good fitting, supportive walking shoes. Bring water, a sunhat, and sunscreen, layered clothing and an umbrella if needed – this is Seattle after all! A pedometer can help you track your distance, but a watch will work as well.

REMEMBER: YOU CAN DO IT!!
For questions or to receive the training schedule, contact Mari Becker at 206.684.4664 or email sound.steps@seattle.gov
