Now is the time to start training for the Atlantic City April Fools Half-Marathon Sunday, April 1 on the Atlantic City boardwalk, or the Atlantic City Marathon Sunday, Oct. 21, according to a press release from the event organizers.

Kim Shipman, 31, of Egg Harbor Township proved it’s never too late to get in the game.

Shipman decided in 2010 to run a half-marathon, but didn’t start training until eight weeks prior to her first run. According to organizers, this year will mark her third half-marathon in the Atlantic City Marathon Race Series – which includes a marathon, a half-marathon, and 5K and 10K races.
