Organising Football Marathons

[Thunderblaster]

Folks,

Any ideas on how to organise and implement a football marathon? I'm seriously thinking of doing one next year for brain tumour research?

If the string that's tied to your foot is elastacated that might help return the football as you run along.

What time are you aiming at? what weather conditions are you hoping for?

Do it indoors, ideally somewhere with a "viewing" area

I'd be looking at next Summer, probably July or August. No one can bank on the weather, judging by the last three Summers.

Fundraising tips mainly. Is it done by giving each participant a card with 20 lines and ask them to fill out? How many hours would you run it? Should there be side attractions? Do you ask other clubs in your region to sell lines or make a donation? I'm looking to use teenagers that I would know in Westport and around Mayo to play in the marathon.

That would would sound like a novelty runner in a marathon to raise money for a charity.
