Registration for 2008

Registration is open for 2008!

Membership Basics. It is easy to become a member and membership is free! Just follow the instructions below for registration. In order to get membership advantages, which includes: awards, your point (see the rules) totals tabulated, and other advantages, register using the methods shown below. MARS is looking into options for increasing the number of awards to participants starting this 2008 year so there are more awards for people as membership numbers increase!

Responsibilities of being a Member. There aren't any responsibilities other than to register each year and to get outdoors and have fun! You can run any races in the series and your points will be automatically tabulated in the rankings. There is no need to inform us or the race directors about any events you attend. MARS handles all the responsibility by awarding points for each race, where we pick out MARS members from the overall results in each race, and provide MARS members with essential race information for each race.

Benefits of being a Member. You get full access to all information about our races. Anyone is allowed to browse our pages for race information, but as a MARS member you also receive indications about the upcoming MARS races to keep you on trajectory, and receive info about offerings at MARS races. As a member you also get to see your progress in the rankings and get a chance to receive awards or door prizes. Being a member opens you up to a community of other runners and helps keep your fitness goals on track. Anyone within this community of runners desiring to join teams for races that have team scoring, MARS will help form teams (new for 2008)! In addition, MARS will be offering more services online to MARS members only.

Registration Timeline. Members who were registered for 2007 and have not signed up for 2008, will be dropped after July 1st 2008! You must sign up for every year to remain in the series. New members can register at any time; however, only participantion points will be awarded for races that occured prior to signing up.

Registration Methods. There are three ways to register for the Madison Area Running Series:
  1. Download the hard copy registration form, and bring it to one of the races.
  2. Mail in or visit and bring in the hard copy registration form to...
    Fleet Feet Sports Madison

  3. Register online if you were a previous MARS participant. If you are unsure how to login or have lost some of your login info, contact us. Previous participants can always register using the paper registration form above, however, we do encourage you to register online since initiating your account will allow you to access services (more coming in the near future) in excess of registation and will help get you into our system more quickly. All particpants who registered (using any method) during any of the prior years of MARS have their own MARS account. New members will know their registration has been received and that their MARS account has been created when they receive the first MARS status email or in some cases a registration confirmation notice.
