Organiser's description

RUN A MARATHON, BUT TAKE YOUR TIME!

LRCs 6 Leg Marathon offers a chance to finish a MARATHON in just 8 weeks.
The 6 Leg Marathon starts May 11, and continues until June 29 th . Thats right, you have 8 weeks to complete
a marathon perhaps the longest time limit to finish of any marathon. Plus it may be the most FUN ever and
is almost certainly the EASIEST marathon ever. Plus, its a great way to train for the LR Park to Park 5 Mile
Run.
The 4.37 mile course from the Lake Run is an accurate 1/6 th of a marathon. Over the 8 weeks, this beautiful
course will transform from its blush of spring to a show of summers best.
To participate, just join us at Lake Bloomington on Thursday nights, at 5:30 PM and run the 4.37 mile course
on 6 of the available 8 evenings. Or, if its more convenient for you, you can run whenever you can and self-
report your fishing time for each required run. Complete 6 runs and youll be a 6 Leg Marathon Finisher!!
And as a BONUS, if you ran the shorter course at the Lake Run, your finishing time counts as one of the 6
required runs for The 6 Leg Marathon!
The Cost for this marathon is just $15. Thats less than you would expect to pay for a 5K! Dont want a shirt?
Then this is a FREE Marathon, compliments of THE LAKE RUN CLUB!
If you want the shirt, just complete all six of required runs and youll get a magnificent technical
6 Leg Marathon Finisher Shirt. Great for running in hot weather or wearing to that Fourth of July party, as
you casually mention you just finished running a MARATHON!

After each Thursday run at Lake Bloomington, we usual socialize. With the recent terrible loss of our favorite establishment we won't be able to do that, but that won't stop us from getting together and reminiscing. Thirsty Thursdays and other group events will be posted as we go.
