RESULTS ARE IN!! About the marathon: We'll start off in Puyallup, at the Y Run Club's base Starbucks. From there we'll run from Starbucks to Starbucks for 26.2 miles, ending in Tacoma. This is a fat-ass style marathon for coffee drinkers with a running problem - a free, no frills, self-supporting fun run. The only aid station you'll find is Starbucks, so best bring your own, or bring your $$ for a grande drink of choice! There aren't any course marshals - though we will try to mark the route. Just in case, know your course! Roads are open with traffic. You will need to plan a way to get back to Puyallup after the race - we may be able to coordinate some carpooling, but nothing is guaranteed. There are no shirts, but there might be a medal. I'll buy the winner their drink of choice at the last Starbucks. Our only rule is that you must have your picture taken by our volunteer at specified Starbucks. Registration: email Michelle at emwrbarnes@comcast.net You will be asked to sign a waiver at the start of the run.
