FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                Louisville's Dream Factory Marathon and Half 
                   Announces New Name and Oct. 20 Date

LOUISVILLE - Kentucky's largest fall marathon has announced its partnership 
with The Dream Factory as the 2013 race approaches. Louisville's Dream 
Factory Marathon and Half will be held on Sunday, Oct. 20, starting and 
finishing at American Turners off River Road. Registration will be open to 
the first 3,000 entrants.

The course is perfect for fast times with an out-and-back layout on roads 
and the paved river walk along the Ohio River. There are full and half 
marathon options, both starting at 8 a.m. The cost of entry into the 
marathon is $80 until Sept. 30 and $90 up until race day. For the half, the 
registration cost is $60 and $70. Awards will be presented to the top-three 
male and female finishers overall, along with the top-three in each age 
category for both races. Proceeds will be donated to The Dream Factory.

Founded in 1980, the Dream Factory is a national non-profit children's 
wish-granting organization with its headquarters based in Louisville. Its 
mission is to grant dreams to critically and chronically ill children, ages 
three through eighteen. The Dream Factory is the second-largest children's 
wish-granting organization in the United States with nearly-90 percent of 
all money raised used to grant dreams.

Louisville's Dream Factory Marathon and Half is a Headfirst Performance 
event. Headfirst has been producing, promoting and timing races in the 
Kentucky/Indiana region for more than a decade with over 100 races on their 
annual event calendar. This race is one of its premier events each year.
