Are You a Marathon Maniac?
Marathon Maniacs is a group of people who have completed multiple marathons in short periods of time. I’ve never run two marathons close together, but one of my friends, Mary, is doing two marathons on consecutive Sundays. She wants to become a Marathon Maniac. I’ll be interested to see how she does.
Here are the criteria for the various levels of Marathon Maniacs:
Bronze Level
2 Marathons within a 16 day time frame.
3 Marathons within a 90 day time frame.
Silver Level
3 Marathons within a 16 day time frame.
6 Marathons in 6 consecutive calendar months.
8 - 11 Marathons within 365 days.
Gold Level
4 Marathons within 37 days.
12 - 18 Marathons within 365 days.
4 Marathons in 4 different US states, Countries or Canadian Provinces (any combination) 51 days.
Iridium Level
4 Marathons in 23 days.
19 - 25 Marathons within 365 days.
2 Marathons in 2 days (or 48 hours) must finish both races!
9 Marathons in 9 different US states, Countries, or Canadian Provinces (any combination) within 365 days.
Believe it or not, there are several higher categories. You can see them all at this link.
Are you a Marathon Maniac? Have you ever run multiple marathons in a short period of time? How did you manage it? Tell me in the comments.
