Registration for the third annual Door County Half Marathon and Nicolet Bay 5K through Door County’s Peninsula State Park is now open. After attracting over 1,000 registrants in 2009, the May 1 race has been capped at 1,200 participants for the half marathon and 400 for the 5K.

Jenny Hadfield, coach and co-founder of Chicago Endurance Sports and author of three books on distance running, brought a squadron of her club’s members to the race last year.

“The Door County Half Marathon is a real treasure,” Hadfield said. “The course winds through picturesque Peninsula State Park and is closed to traffic, which makes for a uniquely authentic journey from start to finish. The Chicago Endurance Sports Team loved it so much, they’re coming back in 2010 to run it again.”

Peninsula State Park is one of the region’s most popular destinations for golfing, boating, camping and wildlife viewing. The USA Track & Field-certified course is closed to traffic for the race and provides runners and fans with panoramic bluff-top vistas of the peninsula shoreline.

Off the course, the Door County community welcomes runners to charming inns and resorts, warm independent coffee shops, a thriving arts community and friendly local eateries.
