Not with the altitude conversion.
Pretty cool.
Any other records set on the way?
We need to send something up there to slap a 26.2 oval on that baby
Hell yeah!

I'm on my way to measure and have it certified! :)
I was going to post a separate snark thread, but what the heck, Here is fine.
ANOTHER MARATHON WINNER EMBROILED IN CONTROVERSY,
On tuesday the Opportunity Rover crossed the 42,195 meter mark at Marathon Valley at Endeavour Crater to win the Martian Marathon.
But it was soon noted that the rover didn't have a bib number, and no interim time was recorded by the timing mats.
Speculation has begun that the rover bandited the race or cut the course.
Also questions have been raised since the rover failed to submit to a drug test in the required time, and that 42,195 meters does not include the shortness prevention factor, invalidating the record.
The course was short, the weather terrible, the aid stations sucked, and there were no spectators.
To add insult to injury the $482 million dollar entry fee will not be refunded by Active.com.
You forgot to mention that the Rover was paced by George Jetson (who wasn't entered either!)

None of those were concerns for the first Earth marathon, so they shouldn't apply to the first Mars marathon.

George did some serious training on the 'mill.
