Who here's going to go win the marathon on the track floating on the water - real event, registration $2000.00

I ran a marathon on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge about 20 years ago. Once the sun came up, it was absolutely a nightmare. Zero protection from the sun (except, of course, the tunnel portions) and the wind was terrible.

This will be much worse. Not only is there no protection from sun/wind but the narrow track will be repetitive beyond belief. That track looks to be no more than about 200 meters, so you are looking at about 250 laps.

I like the fact that they advertise that the water is shark infested. I hope nobody gets delirious from dehydration and boredom and accidently runs off the edge.

This screams CJ Albertson. He’s posted some clinically insane records/workouts. World record indoor marathon at the Armory, treadmill marathon in 2:09, 50K world record on the track, 30 mile tempo run doing the Balboa Park loop repetitively to name some notables. I could see this being right up his alley

The Ocean MARATHON is arguably the world's MOST UNIQUE RUNNING event,
where the best RUNNERS battle it out across 26.2 miles ONTOP of the
SHARK FILLED treacherous ocean.

I wonder if it’s possible to get lapped in the course of this race and then come back to win…

They have a half marathon too. I wonder if you could get lapped 800m at that distance and come back to win the half.

I don't see a portapotty on the course.

If the actual race is as bare as that picture, legit people are going to drown. Sea spray will make that into a slip and slide with people trying to run and dodging walkers

Some tired person will slip off without anyone noticing.

From their website: “Quite possibly the funnest, most dynamic and most beautiful marathon course in the world. A marathon on the ocean! Run on Water”… yeah, for 105 laps, I *highly* doubt it.

100% but I think this idea has jumped the shark.

I do wonder if anyone will fall in... I'm sure the sharks will too.
