Nike Women’s Half Marathon Program

Our partner, Susan Silver, has been tasked with organizing the Nike/Lady Foot Locker Half Marathon Training Program. Because of our success with Nike’s Rock the Lot event in May, she is giving ASUCTC the opportunity to spearhead Nike’s latest running endeavor by offering paid positions vital to the success of this event. Here’s some background on the training program:

Nike and Lady Footlocker (LFL) is offering an official 6-week training program for local runners to participate in The Nike Women’s Half Marathon (N+WM) by running a half-marathon on the same day as the official N+WM is run in San Francisco. This virtual race will be held in 5 cities: King of Prussia, PA; Schaumburg, IL; Edison, NJ; Boca Raton, FLA; and Phoenix, AZ. The training program begins during the first week of September and runs until the N+WM on October 19, 2008. There will be two training runs per week: A weekday evening run (for distances from 2 - 6 miles) and a Saturday morning run for distances from 4 - 14 miles). Nike/LFL provides its participants a full half-marathon-training program, all for free, including free coaching, training runs along the course to be run on 10/19/08, and group runs led by a friendly staff of pace leaders for various paces; free Nike footwear trials; Nike product giveaways; on-course hydration and fueling; post-run food; and a fun atmosphere for socializing and community building.

Susan is looking to fill the following positions with responsible leaders committed to the sport of running and athletic development:
· Program Manager
· Production Manager
· Pace Leaders
· Training Coach
