Registration opens for the Air Force Marathon on Jan. 1 at midnight with a special one-day only price. For Jan. 1 only, the full marathon is $75; half marathon is $60; 10K is $35 and the 5K is $20.

“We’ve offered special pricing on January 1st for the last few years and it has helped get our registration off the starting block quickly,” said Molly Louden, marathon director in a press release. “I think our incredibly fast sellout last year will only help speed it along. People know they can’t wait too late if they want a spot.”

Prices for the full and half go up $10 on Jan. 2, while the two shorter distances go up $5. Prices will rise again on April 2 and June 2, if spots are still available by that time. Although an additional 1,500 spots were added, bringing the potential 2012 field to 15,000 runners, race officials fully expect to sell out based on the rate of recent growth.

“We are encouraging everyone to beat the rush and register early. It is the only sure way to guarantee a spot,” Louden said.
