The 5 day event will be held the 25th-29th of May 2012
The first marathon has been scheduled to coincide with the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar – an occurrence of rare historic and cultural significance. There are many interpretations of this happening to include predictions of the end of the world. We have adopted another happier view – that it is a time of major change and we have organized this event to present an assortment of rewarding challenges for participants.
The Marathon 2012 is organized around a standard 42 km/26 mile race and incorporates other competitive activities to include a ½ marathon, a kids’ fun race, a cayuco (native canoe) race and a swim competition as separate activities. These competitions and other activities will be held in a variety of locations around the lakeshore.
