More Flying Monkey Pics – 2013 Race

UPDATE: All the “hundreds” of Flying Monkey Pics have been moved here: Crushing Iron on Flickr

Here’s the second installment of pictures I shot at the 2013 Flying Monkey Marathon. Sure, some may be repeats, but they will be better the second time! Feel free to re-post them to your pages, but please credit crushingiron.com. Also, if you would like the hi-res version, email me at [email protected]. Put “Monkey” in the subject line and file name in the body. While you’re here, please feel free to read and share my post on why I think RUNNING IS KING, then sign up to follow me on Twitter (@miketarrolly) so you don’t miss any of this half-baked insight in the future.

Flying Monkey Pics

I’m in conversion hell, so this will take at least another day, but here are a few more pictures from the one and only Flying Monkey.

The Flying Monkey Marathon

Wow. This course ate up some very good runners, but everyone seemed to really love the Flying Monkey! This from the website: We will time and measure the distance, but the course will not be certified and it will not be a Boston qualifying event. If you get to the end and you (or your gadget) believe the route to be long, we won’t charge you extra; if you believe it to be short, just keep running. There will be no bands, cheerleaders, wave starts or crowds. We promise no marathon Personal Records, but we guarantee every runner a PR – a Permanent Remembrance of a well-earned marathon finish. We promise to give you approximately 26.2 tough and memorable miles, with a total of over 3600 feet each of elevation gain and loss, or over 7200 feet of overall elevation change.

I went out to take a few pictures and ended up taking hundreds, which I’ll post on Flickr sometime tonight. In the meantime, congrats to everyone who finished one of the tougher marathons you’ll ever run! East Nasty represented in a big way!
