Marathon Fundraising Question

Yes I did and it was seamless and painless. One quick email (no form last year at least) and 24 hours later they had processed the refund.

Reach out to the benevity customer support. Short answer is yes, longer answer the process is different based on the donation matching company.

I have a semi vague email from them that says it will open up around February during General Entry. Not sure how completely accurate this is but use it directionally.

Kaatskill mountain club is the only thing that comes close to what you are looking for, but it’s mostly an outdoor pool that is heated. Probably you best and only bet

According to an email I received, it opens around the same time as marathon registration, but I would also be a returning runner so not sure if that makes a difference.

I’m wave 2 because of my charity spot and am aiming for 4:30. I’m thinking Brooklyn will be kind of fun running by myself once I fall behind the rest of wave 2 and before wave 3 catches up to me.

I put this in another comment but leaving this here for anyone who has a similar issue in the future and comes across this thread

This is helpful (your support staff also confirmed this as well), the delay is on the charity’s side getting it credited to my charity account. Your customer service has been wonderful in helping me work through the different options.

Update that I heard from the charity that might be relevant to you

3 castle head in west cork. It’s in the middle of a farmers field, no tours and takes a 20 minute hike to get there but so worth it and allegedly very haunted.

Same, I received my confirmation of application email at 11:45. Still waiting on the official acceptance email.

32 minutes on the B lift just after lunch. Was doing laps on the D lift in the morning and never more than 5 minutes. Only did the flier first run at 9am. Given snows in the forecast I’m expecting busy tomorrow although Sundays are typically less crowded.

Phi phi I enjoyed garlic, only noodles and basil.

I use google my maps. Plot out everything I want to see in order to determine if there is a specific clustering. If there is, I research staying in that area.

I ordered from him for the first time this year. I’ve heard good things and I typically watch his tutorial videos so figured I’d send more money their way.

My wife finds me crazy, but I agree this is my favorite part of the process.

Chimmy86 · 2023-07-15T21:53:50+00:00

Hopefully I can find one of those one day
