"small but fun" (about: 2006)

COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


a small marathon but a great course... you can park your car along the course by the aid station there so you can have your own personal aid station. i loved it... this was my 2nd marathon ever, and i ran it 9 minutes slower than i ran disney marathon in january but that's b/c of the heat and the hills i guess

"Great Overnight Ultra" (about: 2004)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Boogie Marathon
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 1


The only spectators you will find running this race overnight are the snakes. It's very well organized with more food and water than you will need even if the weather is as warm as it was in 2004.

"It'll take all you've got..." (about: 2004)

6-10 previous marathons | 1 Boogie Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


Be prepared for a hard, hilly course on a hot June night. Add twenty minutes to your last marathon time.

With that said, here are the top five reasons to run the Boogie Marathon or the Boogie 50-miler:

1. It is a small, rural, well-organized event for people who really enjoy running.
2. Unlike big races (Disney, etc.), you won't be surrounded by runners talking on their cell phones, saying inane things like, 'Hey Bob -- guess what? I'm running a marathon! Meet me at mile 6 with a couple of chili dogs and a pint of Ben & Jerry's.'
3. Your next flat marathon will seem way too easy and you'll have license to mock runners who complain about gentle grades and rolling hills.
4. Since you'll be on the same course as the 50-milers, you will be thoroughly giddy at the finish knowing you've already got your pottery award and the 50-milers have another 23.8 miles to go.
5. No matter how long it takes you to finish, you'll know you are no longer an casual marathoner. You will feel like you have kicked &*(.

Run the Boogie - if you think you're tough enough to handle it.

The race director does a splendid job of conducting the Boogie Marathon as well as the Boogie 50 miler. I would highly recommend this race. You will not regret it.
