Because you've signed up for marathons in all 50 states, in seven continents, and almost everywhere in between, and quite frankly you're ready for the next challenge. (Or you just have a great sense of humor!) Here's your chance to register now for the LUNAR MARATHON! That's right folks, a marathon on the moon!

If you're reading this, then you're obviously serious about your running. Which in our minds, means that you're close to being 'certifiable' (as if running 26.2 miles for 'fun' isn't?) This is your chance to tell the universe you are truly wacked out of your mind!

We're hoping to work closely with Virgin Galactic, or NASA. At this point we anticpate round-trip tickets will be over half a billion dollars which includes a complimentary bag of pretzels.

Limited lodging may be availble on the International Space Station. Book early!

Our engineers are busily stuffing rigatoni into toothpaste tubes for your carbo-loading pleasure.

Runners must provide their own spacesuits. We will provide duct tape and tin foil for do-it-yourself-ers.

We'll be checking with the Boston Athletic Association, and searching for a course certifier specializing in zero-gravity measurements.

At this time we do not have plans for a half-marathon. However, we will be hosting the Moon Mile and 1K Crater-Crawl for kids!

Deep dust, scattered grapefruit sized rocks, with occasional Volkswagon sized craters -- trail shoes are highly reccommended.

The lunar gravity is about 1/6 that of Earth (0.165 g), or 1.62 m/s2 gravitational acceleration at the lunar equator as compared to 9.78 m/s2 at the Earth's equator. This lowgravity environment produces a strange perception of up and down; it causes things to "fall down" but at rates different than on Earth.

The lunar surface terrain is divided into two characteristic regions: the smooth maria that account for about 17% of the surface, and the highlands that make up the remaining 83% of the surface. In the maria regions, the slopes are from 0 to 10 angular degrees with a standard deviation (SD) of 3.7 degrees; in the highlands, the terrain slopes from 0 to 23 degrees with a SD of 4.5-6 degrees and higher.

At high noon the average temperature of the lunar surface can reach 280 F (138 C). But that's not the same thing as saying it was 72 F (22 C) in Los Angeles today. The latter is air temperature. The temperature of various surfaces in Los Angeles might have been as high as 180 F (82 C). Air temperature has no meaning on the moon because there's no air.

Only 5 bucks, or about the price of your average half caf, half decaf, non-fat, soy, no foam, sweet (but not too sweet!), medium hot mochachino which to the best of our knowledge is the best deal on an entry fee for ANY marathon held inside this solar system.

When you sign-up we will add your name to our official registered entrants list. We recommend that you purchase a one of a kind "Team Lunar Marathon" T-shirt (makes a great gift for you or your favorite marathoner!) We're pretty sure you will be considered for induction into the Marathon Maniac's "Insane Asylum" upon successful completion of this event.

We're not quite sure that we can answer any additional questions, but if you must... "Beam me up, Scotty!"

If deep space travel makes you nervous, perhaps you would prefer to run a little closer to home, we highly recommend this one.
