What “Movie” Marathon would you like to run?

1.  The Land of Oz Marathon:

Dorothy and Toto may have had a hard time battling the Wicked Witch with her flying monkeys but this marathon offers 26.2 miles of challenges that are out of this world.  First off, the corralling run is run by the Munchkins and requires everyone to sing and dance prior to race start.  And if that is not enough of a challenge to get you off your game just imagine following a pace group led by the Scarecrow, a Tinman and the ever Cowardly Lion.  Pretty sure a PR would be out of the question…for this race.  No matter how fast your opening miles would be a nap in the poppy fields is sure to throw you off your goal pace.  For all of the challenges offered during the race itself you would have no excuse if you got lost, just follow the yellow brick road.  On the plus side the Oz marathon is sure to have a one of a kind finisher’s medal styled after the horse of many colors.  It’s not Kansas, Dorothy, it’s The Land of Oz Marathon.

2.  Death Star Marathon:

This marathon was first run a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away and yet it is a favorite of runners all over the Galactic Empire.  This flat and fast course is a favorite Boston qualifier and has been a place where Galaxy Records are set, going all the way back to the first winner, the famous small green runner named, Yoda.  The course has changed over the years but it’s always a challenge, and “fast” whether run thru a desert, some lush green forests or across the landing deck in front of the Millennium Falcon.  One constant year after year is the high quality runner’s swag.  This year entrants recieve a cool high tech t-shirt and a finishers medal made of Carbonite that commemorates Han Solo, the one time smuggler turned hero.
