It’s estimated that there are between 2,000 and 4,000 marathons organized each year. Over 11 million people slap their feet across the pavement for 26.2 miles each year. That’s a lot of races and a lot of people. What if I told you there is a marathon that only 11 people have completed? What if I told you only 45 people have ever signed up for this marathon? Well, then you might just say to yourself, “These guys suck at marketing.” To which I would respond and say, “We do, but that is beside the point.” At Radical Races we believe we’ve made the world’s toughest marathon and we’ve called it, “Not your Grandma’s Marathon”.
Now, you may be wondering, “Why in the world is it called that?” Well, my fit grandma said she wouldn’t do it so I’m assuming that most of the grandma’s in the world wouldn’t. Let’s break down this marathon a little more.
Length: 26.2 Miles
Average Temperature: 85 degrees
Elevation gain and loss: 8500ft
Average time to complete: ≈7 hrs 21 mins

If you think you have what it takes to finish this race, I’d recommend signing up. It might change your life…or just change the way you walk for the next couple of days.
