Revenge of the Penguins is a low-key, low-stress practice race for anyone training for a marathon, half marathon, or for anyone that just wants the challenge. We provide course support and electronic timing usually only found at larger races.
While we have no formal time limit to complete the course, we do mark the passage of 5 hours, the time within which all Marine Corps Marathoners must complete the first 20 miles of that race. All mid-pack and back-of-the-pack runners aiming to "beat the bridge" are welcome at Penguins. Please join is on September 18 to test yourself and prepare for your own racing goals. At our race, Penguins Rule!
