Or go directly to the following link if you are ready to register: http://www.active.com/framed/event_detail.cfm?EVENT_ID=1604294&CHECKSSO=0

As you already have entry into one of the closed marathons, your commitment to be a part of Girls on the Run SoleMates would be to raise a minimum $262 on or before 30 days after the date of your chosen event. Please remember that the process mentioned above is if you already have a spot in either the ING NYC Marathon or the NYC Half Marathon.
