Marathon Weekend 2027

[Baloo in MI]

Thank you for that! I actually got in for MW 2026 through an alert in July. Figured if I got locked out at registration I could always try my luck there again! Not ideal but there’s a chance, right? I would do a charity bib but I’m the absolute WORST at asking people for $$. Even with it being a good cause. For my kids fundraisers, I would give a large donation to the school, just to avoid asking people to donate.

Absolutely the same! In 2022 I got a spot on a fund raising team for the NYCM. It was for a cause effecting my own family and I had almost a full year to raise the needed funds. I did it and got to run the marathon, but I was on the struggle bus from the beginning to end.

You guys are freaking me out on securing my marathon bib!

Same! I think I'm settled on trying for the 10K and marathon, but I may do the marathon first just to make sure I get it and then go back for the 10K if I can. I really don't want to go the charity route as I did it in 2024 and it was hard raising the money.
