Green Bay Marathon is tomorrow! Good luck to everyone running in the race. Will be chilly at the start, ~40 degrees, but should nicely rise up into the 50’s during the race. This is perfect for the marathon. No rain in the forecast, which is awesome.
Presco is FRESH. We are just getting this website started, and have big plans to cover awesome races, awesome locations, and promoting healthy lifestyles.
Just a week away from the Green Bay Marathon. Caught this interesting piece from Fox11. Apparently, there will be a field of 52 elite runners, competing for a $20,000 prize purse.
There are still a few spots available in the full marathon and 5k races, so not too late to sign up, and run on Lambeau Field!

According to the Green Bay Press Gazette, recycling will be a priority at the upcoming Green Bay Marathon. They will make an effort to separate plastic water bottles from the rest of the trash generated. This continues a trend towards ‘green‘ racing.
The May 17 Cellcom Green Bay Marathon will continue last year’s effort to separate plastic bottles from all other garbage, said Sean Ryan, race director.
“Running events do not have a very significant carbon footprint, outside of all the people driving to the start and finish, and there’s only so many things we can do to address that,” he said. “What we can address is the trash that’s generated on site at the event.”

This year will be the 30th running of the Bele Chere 5k, on July 25, with the start at McCormick Field, and the finish just up the street. No doubt that there will be a bunch of hills, and a lot of fun. Check out more details, and register online, on the race website.
