We are seeking individuals who plan on running in any of the following 2008 marathons, Boston, Grandma's, Los Angeles, or Rock 'N' Roll. We are inviting you to participate in a study on the relationship between marathon performance and satisfaction. The study is being conducted by researchers at The University of Chicago.
Participation in this study involves completing 3 online surveys. Each survey should take 10 minutes or less to complete. The surveys will include a variety of questions pertaining to the marathon itself, your marathon training, and your general running experience. The first survey will take place roughly 2 months prior to the marathon, with the final survey taking place after the marathon.
All participants will be entered into a random drawing for prizes. For each marathon, there will be one Grand
Prize winner, three Second Prize winners and ten Third
Prize winners. Winners will be selected and notified 6-8
weeks after the completion of the marathon, and prizes should
be received within 4 weeks of the announcement of winners.
Prizes include an 8 GB iPod Nano, a Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Watch, and a Bose SoundDock Digital Sound System. Click here for a complete description of prizes.
Thank you for your interest in our study. We hope that you are interested in participating. If you would like to sign up, please complete this very brief registration form. If you have any questions, do
not hesitate to contact us.
