The Football Marathon (Race That Didn't Make the Cut)



Finisher's Award
Whatever level you earn, you'll get a football card of that player. We'll put the card in a plastic case, punch a hole through the case, loop a shoe lace through the hole, and we'll stick an adhesive label on the plastic to note your distance and the event.

How it Works
Run up and down the football field. A football field is generally believed to be 100 yards long, but that's not counting the end zones (if I'm going to run up and down a football field for a few hours, I sure as s*%$ want to run through the end zones). You can run with full pads and/or your favorite player's jersey, but you don't have to to get credit. The only requirement is that you run the last lap with a football, spike the ball when you finish, and do a touchdown dance. The clock will keep running until we approve your dance. Creativity, foolishness, and/or effort will be determining factors for the touchdown dance.

Course Map

The Levels
Distances are calculated by tripling a player's career All-Purpose Yards, Rushing Yards, or Kick Return Yards. Official mileage will be slightly higher than actual mileage. A Lap refers to one trip up and down the football field.

Jerry Rice Level (23,546 Total Yds): 295 Laps for 40 Miles

Marshall Faulk Level (19,172 Total Yds): 240 Laps for 50K

Eric Dickerson Level (15,396 Total Yds): 193 Laps for a Marathon

Chris Warren Level (7,696 Rushing Yds): 97 Laps for a Half Marathon

Hoyle Granger Level (3,653 Rushing Yds): 46 Laps for 10K

Troy Brown Level (1,862 Kickoff Return Yds): 24 Laps for 5K

Armanti Edwards Level: 8 Laps for 1 Mile
