3rd Annual PullHarder Marathon – Oct 21st

August 2nd, 2012 by Josh

That’s right friends, it’s time for the 3rd annual PullHarder.org Marathon!  Some say, “Third time’s a charm.”   Well… they are wrong.  We got it right the first time, and we are simply perfecting perfection!

If a desire for devastation dances in the deepest depths of your soul, the time for action is upon you!  For those of you who are not familiar with the PHM, it is a self-supported race that we have hosted for the past two years.  It begins and ends at 8551 Menkar Rd, and culminates with an award ceremony and drinking, which typically includes a keg of Stone beer.  This year it will be taking place on Sunday, October 21st.

We have 3 distances, just click on the links below to see each course:

10 K

10 Mile

Full Marathon (2 loops of the 10 mile and 1 loop of the 10k, see links above)

We will have food and a sports drink at the house to refuel between each loop of the full marathon.

Sign up by clicking HERE!

For motivational tales to get you inspired watch the video below!

If you’re not inspired by that, perhaps this race is not for you?

This year’s PullHarder Marathon is in memory of Ben and Gil.  They were amazing people, who did amazing things; Ben holds the PullHarder Marathon course record.  Hopefully they’ll inspire you to train harder, meet your potential, and set a personal record, whatever that may be.

Start training, and we’ll see you on the trail!

    It’s going to be awesome to see you two! Does this mean that you’re actually going to train and run, Konstantin, or are you just coming for the beer?

      This is more than an idea, it’s an annual race we host out of the house, and this year it’s in memory of Ben and Gil. More friends of Ben, the better! Sign up by clicking the link above!

    If you’re having trouble finding motivation, watch this:

    My brother was one of his instructors as he learned how to snowboard. It’s an amazing little video.

    What do you mean by ‘self-supported’? And, how much is the entry fee? I am down for running the marathon, especially in honor of my friend Ben.

      We have sports drinks and snack food at the house for those running the marathon (3 loops out and back to the house) but nothing out on the course. That is what we mean by “self-supported”. If you want food/drink while running, you have to carry it. The farthest loop without coming back to the house is 10 miles.

      There is no entry fee. We’re trying to have a fun day with friends. That said, it does cost us hundreds of dollars to host this event, so we typically ask people to buy a t-shirt for $15 to help up cover our costs. There’s also a donation jar, if you feel so inclined.

      We’d be happy to have you join our race!!!

    Thank you for honoring this run for Ben and Gil’s memory. I am also a friend of Ben. Although it is too late for me to start a full-marathon training for October, I will come join for the 10 mile run.

    Think my legs are allowing me to run, hopefully they will continue enough to do the 10k
