Mohawk Hudson Marathon (Read 330 times)

    Mohawk Hudson Marathon on 2/17.  25 bucks on race day, low-key.  

     

    There is a relay option, should Swampers care to form a team. 

     

    Anyone run this? Anyone interested?

      I could stay with me mum! She'd be sooooo happy.

       

      Damn that Boston race...

       

       

      I'm happy, hope you're happy too...

        I could possibly be talked into the relay. Less than an hour from my in-laws. $25 / team is nice - though it is Albany in deep winter.

        But Och! I backward cast my e'e, On prospects drear!
        An' forward, tho' I canna see, I guess an' fear!


        SELFISH, like you.

          Too bad my brother in law moved away or I could have worked something. I've run much of the course. As advertised, its a flat bike path with a couple quick downhills. Right now I'm hoping half at hamptons fits my schudle. New Hampshire in deep winter.


          SELFISH, like you.

            Wait. This isn't the same course as the fall marathon with the same name.

                    Every loop you must chug a beer to keep warm.

                      I did it last February as a long run, and will probably do it again. The views are pretty parking-lot intensive......you figure it out. It's a local race for me. Doing a beer a loop doesn't sound like a bad idea.

                       

                      So. Yep. There for the full.

                       

                      Wait. Does being on a relay team mean that I can run less and drink more?

                       I like running alone.

                        This is less than 3 miles from my house.  I was toying with the idea of doing the full, but if there's a spot on a swamp relay team, count me in.  As Walt said, not the most scenic race, but well-run from what I've heard.

                        A lot of pressure in the middle of those shoulders / And we ain't gettin nothing but older / Ain't nothing change but the day we run from / But nobody knows that better than you,huh

                          Driving to Albany in February to run laps around a parking lot? Sounds like loads of fun but I will pass.

                           

                          Besides Jones 10-miler is the next weekend in Amherst.

                          Runners run.

                            I do like this aspect: "No medals. We have never had medals and we have no plans to add medals. This is a $20.00 event. No Medals!"

                              Parking lotS, Mikey, multiple parking lots.  And Albany is beautiful in February!

                                 Beer, the original sports drink. Not a bad idea at all.

                                Slow and steady never wins anything.
