Marathon Me

There is a new marathon coming to town.  I will be making my first attempt to put on a marathon with this years Frankenthon Monster Marathon.  I’ve been directing a 12 race 5k series in the summer, the Sunstroke Summer Stampede, which is about to finish up it’s 6th year.  This has been very enjoyable to me, but I’ve always wanted to put on a marathon as well.  The Summer Stampede has been a more low-frills type of race, but for the Frankenthon we are going to try and put on a top notch marathon with great goodies, certified Boston Qualifying course, chip timing and other exciting things to ensure you have a frightfully good time.
We’re going with a monster themed race and will be running the Saturday before Halloween, which this year falls on October 24, 2009. The course will be mostly flat with a mixed paved/crushed granite trail.  It will cover three 8.75 mile laps.

The overall winners (male/female and masters) will each receive a free pair of Mizuno shoes as well as other goodies.  We’re looking to do something special for the last male/female finishers as well.

We will provide long-sleveed tech shirts and tech-socks for all entrants.

Age groups awards will be 3 deep in 5 year age groups.

Come out and run, or come volunteer, I can for sure use the help.

Hope to see you out there.
