The New England Challenge

5 Marathons, 5 States, 5 Days
or 5 Half Marathons, 5 States, 5 Days

Monday, May 12, 2014 – Friday, May 16, 2014

I don’t think that I’m up for this challenge. Each Marathon is limited to 100 runners and each Half is limited to 25 runners. Each marathon is $120 or $550 for the entire series. the halfs are $75 or $350 for the series. Active.com says all five halfs are $500, but that math doesn’t work.

As of March 19th these races were 80-90% sold out!

These races are probably run more like an Ultra than a marathon or half marathon. I could not imagine running 5 marathons in five days at anything near my marathon pace. I know people who have run two marathons in a week and I tip my hat to them: that is a challenge.

What do you think? Could you do this? Have you done this? 131 miles in 5 days? That sounds more like a months worth of running to me.

Run well my friends,

Andy
