RUNNING USA – When Hawks Win, So Do Publix Georgia Marathon Runners

ATLANTA –   US Road Sports & Entertainment Group, owners and operators of the Publix Georgia Marathon, has announced a sponsorship agreement with the NBA's Atlanta Hawks.  The partnership will bring a unique and fun way for those interested in registering for the Publix Georgia Marathon to receive a discount based on the outcome of two Hawks home games during February.

For each Hawks home victory from Wednesday, February 6 through Friday, February 8, 2013, registrants will receive a discount equal to the total number of Hawks points in excess of the opposing team's score.  For example, if the Hawks win by 12, runners will receive $12 off registration cost. 

The discount will be valid between the hours of noon and 11:59 p.m. ET the day following the win and registrants will use the discount code PGMHAWKS13.  The promotion is valid for the following home games held at Philips Arena:

•  Wednesday, February 6 vs. Memphis Grizzlies

• Friday, February 8 vs. New Orleans Hornets

 Registration can be completed online at www.georgiamarathon.com.

 The Publix Georgia Marathon will take place on Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 7 a.m., at Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta.  The 26.2 mile and 13.1 mile courses will travel through metro Atlanta's most interesting and historic areas including the Sweet Auburn district, Inman Park, Decatur, Druid Hills, Virginia-Highland and Midtown areas.  Along the way, runners will pass landmarks, including the King Historic Site, Carter Center, four college campuses and Piedmont Park.
