There’s something special about sharing a marathon announcement. You only get one chance to share it and it’s a fun way to bring others in on the surprise. If you’ve ever trained for a race while juggling life, you know it’s more than just miles on a calendar. It’s early mornings, travel planning, mental grit, and… a celebration of the experience.
And this time, I want to bring you along in a more playful, meaningful way with a marathon reveal series packed with clues and a chance to get in on the surprise early.
Whether you’re training for your next big goal, dreaming of your first race, or just love the energy of chasing something bold, this one’s for us.
Why Launch a Marathon Announcement Reveal
I’ve run 12 marathons and with my next being my 13th, I thought it would be fun to share the race as a series of cryptic clues leading up to the reveal, similar to a Taylor Swift album announcement.
I am planning to reveal something about the city that’s hosting my next race through social media and my email newsletter to provide all the details.
