Organiser's Description
The Shorts Shortest Marathon - 262 Feet of Glory -
Think you've got what it takes to conquer a marathon? Well, this isn't that. Welcome to Short's Brewing Company's take on a race - a grueling, sweat-inducing, totally ridiculous 262-foot dash designed for the champions of comfort, not cardio.
Join us for the Short's Shortest Marathon, where the only thing shorter that the course is your attention span. It's just long enough to break a mild sweat, justify wearing athletic gear, and claim eternal bragging rights - all without missing happy hour.
What to expect:
* A "marathon" that's over faster than you can say electrolytes.
* A bib number you will want to post on Instagram.
* Finish line glory - complete with cheers and awkward high fives,
* A post-race celebration at your favorite watering hole surrounded by Shortletes (Shorts plus Athletes = Shortletes!)
* A finishers medal that doubles as a bottle opener-because nothing says athletic achievement like opening a cold one with your victory hardware.
* Official race t-shirt (Short Sleeves, Obviously)-Show the world you survived 262 feet of pure determination. Wear is proudly, you have barely earned it.
All proceeds of the event will do to support TART trails, which makes it even sweeter.
