26: A Marathon Challenge
Cooperative challenge
Start date: 1/1/25
This challenge will be run on both sites!
A certified marathon course must be 26.2 miles. This race was inspired from the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. Persians had landed near the town of Marathon and they planned to take Athens. A messenger was sent to spread the word and call for help.
The 1896 Modern Olympic Games proposed a long distance run between Marathon and Athens inspired by this legend. In 1897, the first Boston Marathon took place inspired by the Olympics of the year before. In 1921, the official distance was formalizes as 26.2 miles even though there seems to be no explanation as to why that distance was chosen. 2024 marks 100 years since that ruling.
For this marathon, it is all about the number 26. We will be doing a marathon of twenty sixes. As a group, we will be reading books and trying to make it to the end of a very long marathon. There are a lot of tasks we need to achieve as a collective. You will submit your completed book on the wiki link below.
Submit books here:
