The Frankenthon Monster Marathon

This review may be a bit biased since I know the person that puts on this race. Frank Lividauis, the organizer, has made a huge impact on me as a runner. Frankenthon is held the week before Halloween weekend at Brushy Creek Lake Park.
What makes this marathon a five star for me?
1– Everyone is very supportive and friendly. You really feel like you are part on a small community. In fact, the volunteers are part of the Lividauis clan or runners themselves.
2– the race is well-​organized and clearly marked.
3– great swag, including a long sleeve tech shirt and socks from The Sock Guy and a monster finisher’s metal.
4– I like the variety along the trail, some hills, pavement and gravel. It’s also a Boston qualifier if you are interested.
5-​lots of post race food. You get to indulge in donuts and pizza.
The proceeds from the marathon get donated to the local libraries. When you run this race, not only are you doing you body good; you are giving back to your community.
