OBTAIN YOUR GROUP ID BEFORE REGISTRATION
Group registration continues to be one of the most popular features of the Nike Women's Marathon. This year, if you are interested in registering as a group, you should obtain a Group ID prior to registering in the random drawing.

There are four easy steps:

STEP 1: Designate ONE person in your group to be the group leader
STEP 2: Group leaders must complete the Group ID Application form
STEP 3: Once the Group ID has been created, the group leader MUST send the Group ID to everyone in the group
STEP 4: Starting April 5th, every member of the group needs to input the Group ID in the appropriate box on their own random drawing application

Runners have the opportunity to enter as either an individual or as part of a group using a Group ID, but cannot enter as both. Duplicate entries are void and will be grounds for complete removal from the random drawing.

CLICK HERE TO OBTAIN A GROUP ID TODAY.

REGISTRATION STATUS
This year, you will be able to track your random drawing application throughout the registration process! Once you have completed your application, use our searchable database to make sure you entered the correct Group ID, be first to see the results of the random drawing, and more!

PLEASE NOTE: NEW RANDOM DRAWING APPLICATIONS WILL BE UPLOADED AT THE END OF EACH BUSINESS DAY. YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR APPLICATION IN THE SEARCHABLE DATABASE UNTIL 24 HOURS AFTER YOU COMPLETE YOUR APPLICATION. IF YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR APPLICATION AFTER 24 HOURS, PLEASE CONTACT SIGNMEUP.COM AT NWM@SIGNMEUP.COM.

Click here to search the random draw application database.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE

_Registering early does not increase your chances of being selected in the random drawing
_Registering as part of a group does not affect your chances of being selected in the random drawing
_Duplicate entries (registration as both an individual and with a group) are void and will be grounds for complete removal from the random drawing

I was charged for the race but the results for the
