Best Reason To Run 26.2 Miles

Austin Motorola Marathon

We know it sounds tough, but the enthusiasm with which volunteers and onlookers greet the hordes of runners -- all ages and abilities -- who participate in this scenic race is reason enough to put on your sneakers and run for the fun of it. Thorough training is a good idea first, but we swear it's not the physical exertion that's making you see groups of cheerers-on dressed as giant pink bunnies or the cast of some recent Disney blockbuster passing out Powerade. Since the Motorola Marathon is mostly downhill, seasoned athletes from all over the world enter with hopes of running their best times. We'll be happy just to make it to the finish line.
