Culver City Observer -

To Run in Japan Marathon

The Culver City Sister City Committee will select two marathon runners (one male and one female) to participate as citizen diplomats in the 20^th annual Osaka Senshu International Marathon, on February 17, 2013.

The two selected runners will reside with Kaizuka host families during the five-day stay. As participants, they will have the opportunity to meet other sister city runners. Currently, expenses covered are airfare, lodging, meals and sightseeing. Participants must have their own international insurance, however.

You must be a Culver City resident or work in Culver City and live within a two-mile radius. You also must have participated in full marathon runs during the last two years (times must be verified) and completed runs within four hours and 15 minutes. Additionally, you will be required to host (at your home) a Kaizuka runner arriving in March 2013 to participate in the Los Angeles Marathon on behalf of Kaizuka and Culver City.

If you are interested in applying for this opportunity, please contact Kathleen McCann, Kaizuka Chair at ccscc.inc@gmail.com. Applications can be downloaded from www.culvercitysistercitycommittee.org.

All Applications must be received no later than October 10, 2012.
