MELBOURNE, Fla. - (November 1, 2011) - The State Farm Melbourne & Beaches Music Marathon Weekend has announced that Central Florida elite runner Jessica Crate has again agreed to conduct the event's official training camp.

The Melbourne Music Marathon Weekend is scheduled for February 4-5, 2012 and offers runners race distances of 5K, 8K, 1/2 marathon, full marathon and 1/2 marathon relay.

Entry and event information can be found at: www.themelbournemarathon.com

The training camp will focus on the 8K and 1/2 marathon distances and is scheduled to begin in mid-November. The camp will continue to accept runners of all levels throughout its duration.

Crate, 26, a Canadian national champion runner and Varsity Collegiate athlete, has dominated the East Central Florida women's - and in many cases the men's - running scene the past few years. She is the reigning and three-time champion of a local running series and is running the ING New York City Marathon this coming weekend and recently qualified to represent the USA Triathlon National Team at the 2012 World Olympic Triathlon Championships in Auckland, New Zealand.

Jessica, who qualified and ran as an elite runner in the 2011 Boston Marathon, also is the 2011 women's winner of the Gasparilla Distance Classic in Tampa.
