"SOLD OUT! Thank you for your interest in joining Team Think Pink Rocks for the NYC Half-Marathon. We had spectacular interest and our team filled up very quickly - we are sorry that we do not have any more entries for the March 21st NYC Half-Marathon. However, if you already have an entry in the NYC Half-Marathon but would still like to join and fundraise for our Think Pink Rocks team, please email us at msr21498@comcast.net. We intend to have additional sponsorships for future marathons and races as well as to hold other events (walks, concerts, etc.), so please send us an email to msr21498@comcast.net with your name and email address if you would like us to keep you informed of these future races and events. Please also feel free to explore the thinkpinkrocks.com website to learn more about us. Please check the www.NYRR.org website half-marathon page to see if there are other charities that may still have entries for the NYC Half-Marathon. Good luck and thank you for your interest.

Think Pink Rocks: Think Pink Rocks Breast Cancer Organization is proud to be a Charity Partner with the New York Road Runners in the first-ever spring running of the New York City Half-Marathon! This allows us to provide guaranteed marathon entries to runners who commit to make a donation or raise funds totaling $1,000 or more for Think Pink Rocks. A limited number of guaranteed entries are available, so sign up now! About Think Pink Rocks We are a non-profit organization whose mission is to raise awareness about early detection of and genetic testing for breast cancer and to provide funding for screening, treatment and research. Did you know: • A woman's risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer is greatly increased if she carries the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation (Breast Cancer gene mutation). • Men with these mutations also have an increased risk of breast and prostate cancer. Why Run for our Team? Our team will raise money and awareness for breast cancer research. All money raised for Think Pink Rocks from the New York City Half-Marathon will benefit breast cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Some members of our team have a direct connection to breast cancer, but we also have many team members who are running or walking simply because they want to support a great cause. Event Details The course of the NYC Half-Marathon will take runners through the heart of the city, into Times Square, and finish in the Battery Park area of lower Manhattan. What is My Fundraising Commitment? Each runner commits to raising a minimum of $1,000 for Think Pink Rocks. Applicants are required to provide credit card information as a guarantee. However, your credit card will only be charged for the balance remaining if we have not received donations totaling $1,000 by March 28, 2010. Your registration with Team Think Pink Rocks includes: 1) Race Registration (registration fees covered by Think Pink Rocks) 2) A Team Think Pink Rocks t-shirt 3) A personalized fundraising page on our website How Can I Join the Team?
