The Grand Rapids Maration (& Half) sent an email announcement that they are offering a one-time, lifetime race registration option. This would allow you to compete in the full or half marathon as long as the event stays in existence. I think that the fee was about $650, and since marathon registrations are creeping up to the $80-$100 range now, it might be a good deal for someone with a lot of racing years ahead of them. Has anyone heard of this being done by other events? It's a bit of a gamble for a number of reasons, but maybe for runners who live in the general area and compete there most years, it would be a good deal.

my son has a lifetime fishing license.
