tommy's minion marathon

​Overview

​bello, banana! 👋🍌

​Thank you for helping me raise $10,000 for the Parkdale Community Food Bank (tinyurl.com/tommyruns). As promised, I am now running a full marathon as a minion.

​I will be running the informal marathon on July 23rd, at 5AM. I estimate that I will take about 4 hours to complete the marathon, ending at approximately 9AM.

Logistics

​There will be crew setup at the checkpoints that I've mapped out above to provide hydration+snacks and I'll also have someone tailing me throughout the entire marathon for support in case of emergency.

​If you'd like to join me at any point during this journey, shoot me a message and I'll share my live location with you for the marathon course.

​Disclaimer & Contact

​I've never run a full marathon before. I'm not really sure what to expect - I'm hoping to just do this for completion and will not be worrying too much about pace.

​I've had a few people advise me on this run and understand that there is a risk of injury. If you have any tips or recommendations, please feel free to shoot me a DM on Twitter/X @tommytrxnh - all help is welcome.
