Dick’s-A-Thon as first marathon

I’d love to hear from other people that plan on running the Dick’s-A-Thon later this year. I’m not a runner, but I’m a blogger and video content creator (French Fries and non-alcoholic beverages are my focus). I have a love/hate relationship with Dick’s, but I decided to begin training for this race because I think that it’s super unique and a personal challenge.

In case anyone is unfamiliar, this is a marathon that’s designed to run between all 5 Seattle area Dick’s Drive-In locations. Not only are you running 26.2 miles (26.4, actually), but you’re eating a cheeseburger, a special, a delux, fries, and a milkshake throughout the race. I’m in week 2 of my training schedule now and haven’t started incorporating burgers into the runs (yet), but I plan on posting a weekly update video about my progress.

Objectively, my odds of success are low, but I’m excited for the challenge.
