Register Now To Save On Allscripts Tobacco Road Marathon Race Fees

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Runners must act now to save $10 on registration for the seventh running of the annual Allscripts Tobacco Road Marathon (TRM) and the GNC Half, both presented by Inside-Out Sports. On November 1 prices of both the March 13, 2016 events will increase by $10 to $100 and $90 respectively. A schedule of incremental price increases is available at the TRM Web site. Also, a limited supply of parking passes is rapidly selling out. Shuttles from a remote lot will service those who do not purchase parking before the sell-out.

Next year's races will return to the Carolina pine-lined American Tobacco Trail (ATT) with its flat, fast, granite-screen course. TRM qualifies 10 percent of competitors for the Boston Marathon and was named among the top nine best new marathons by Runner's World Magazine.

"We had record registration in 2015, almost at course capacity. Comments on our Facebook page tell anyone our runners had a fantastic time," says TRM President, Founder and ten-time Boston Marathon Qualifier Kazem Yahyapour. "We have the fastest course in the state and the cool temperatures of early spring in North Carolina is running heaven."

The USA Track & Field (USATF) certified full and half marathon courses follow the same path for two miles then diverge as full marathon runners head north and those in the half turn south on the ATT. The first two and last two miles of the courses are on paved roads – the rest are on the ATT. The runners will start from the USA Baseball & Thomas Brooks Park in Cary. The course is devoid of hills and the average high temperature for the date (51 degrees Fahrenheit) delivers an ideal performance environment.

All proceeds go to these charities: JDRF, the Wounded Warrior Project, the American Red Cross and the Rails to Trails Conservancy as well as Wake County Parks and Recreation. Over $100,000 was gifted in 2015 pushing the cumulative total contributions to over a half million dollars.

The Tobacco Road Marathon Association is a non-profit organization dedicated with its sponsors to providing financial assistance to its partner charities by channeling the passions of the North Carolina Triangle area's running community into a powerful force for good.
