Yet Another^TM Harebrained Idea.

Calgary Marathon Link

It's a Marathon. Enuff said.
Seriously, I'm looking to make this a more fun event. You can walk it, run it, sprint it. Go fast, go slow (I'm a super slowpoke runner), it's up to you. It's really a challenge between you and the clock. As long as you make the cut off time you get a souvenir medal (in 2009 anyways) to take home, a certificate (suitable for framing) with your time, downloadable from the web, immense self satisfaction and bragging rights. This is also part of the preparation for the Canadian Death Race.

The idea for this is to get people together for the event. No better motivation to train than with other people. Once a week or 5 times a week, whatever you can do. From 1 Nov, we have 30 weeks (some 7 months!) to prepare for it. Even if you're brand new to running, it's enough time to train! If you wish, there will be training sessions being set up that you can join. We will be training throughout the winter, wherever we can find a place to run. So newbies are welcome to get started.
