Anyone registering for the March 17 Publix Georgia Marathon can score discounted registration today thanks to the Atlanta Hawks.

For each Hawks home victory on Feb. 6 or Feb. 8, marathon registrants will receive a discount equal to the total number of Hawks points in excess of the opposing team’s score.  Since the Hawks beat the Grizzlies yesterday with a score of 103-92, today you get an $11 discount.

The discount is valid between noon and 11:59 p.m. ET with discount code PGMHAWKS13 and can only be used toward the half and full-marathon races currently priced at $95 and $115 respectively. You can register online at www.georgiamarathon.com.

The Publix Georgia Marathon takes place at 7 a.m., Sun., Mar. 17, 2013 in Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. 

The 26.2 mile and 13.1 mile courses will travel through the Sweet Auburn district, Inman Park, Decatur, Druid Hills, Virginia-Highland and Midtown areas. On March 15-16 participants also have a chance to receive health and fitness tips and purchase running gear at the Publix Georgia Marathon Health & Fitness Expo held at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Tune in again Fri., Feb. 8 -- when the Hawks face the New Orleans Hornets -- for another chance to get discounted registration. And note, the maximum discount regardless of the point spread, is $15.
