2012 Canada Army Run 85% sold out

More than 15,500 have already signed up for the September 23, 2012 Canada Army Run.  With the half marathon at 92% capacity and the 5K at 80%, the event is on track to sell out in record time, despite the addition of 2,000 more spots this year.

No doubt this is partially because it is the 5^th anniversary of the event, meaning there are special edition shirts and redesigned medals.  Other new initiatives include Cheering Stations (complete with cash prizes for the non-profit organizations with the best set up), a category for Visually Impaired runners in the Disabled Athletes division for both the 5K and half marathon, and a Hand Cycle category in the Disabled Athletes division of the half marathon.
