Progressive Marathon participants run or walk 26.2 miles over a period of weeks or months, finishing their final 3.1 miles on Race Day in either the 5K Run or the 5K Walk. Participants keep track of their miles on an Interval Sheet that will be available soon. Finishers receive a Marathon finisher's medal. In order to receive your Progressive Marathon medal, you must be registered for the Progressive Marathon and bring your Interval Sheet with you to the Expo Registration or the Information Booth.
The 23.1 miles you run prior to race day can be run anywhere. They do not need to be official races or associated with RunSFM. They also do not need to be a part of the RunSFM course.
Progressive Marathoners will receive an Official RunSFM T-Shirt and a medal (provided that you turn in your interval sheet and complete the 5K).
Progressive Marathon participants must complete this Interval Sheet and complete the 5K in order to receive their medal. Bring this sheet with you to pick up your 5K Run/Walk bib either at the Expo on Friday August 1st, Saturday August 2nd, or Sunday August 3rd at the Information Booth near the Awards Stage. Please refer to the 5K packet pick-up above for times and directions. You will pick up your medal after you have turned in your Progressive Sheet and finished the 5K.
BFG note: While not the same as running 26.2 miles over 6 hours (time limit for SFM), the progressive marathon encourages ordinary folks to complete the full distance. Don't think it will work for Singapore. Honesty is the issue.
