How does it work?

The 2026 distance is drawn at random from a truncated, right-skewed log-normal distribution between 10 and 100 miles — tight below the median, wider above.

To pick the distance, we:

  1. Draw u∼U(0,1)u \sim \mathcal{U}(0,1), a uniform random number.
  2. Map it to a standard normal value z=Φ−1(u)z = \Phi^{-1}(u).
  3. Apply the log-normal transform below.
  4. Reject any draw outside [10,100][10, 100] and resample.
d=exp⁡ ⁣(ln⁡27+σ(z) z),σ(z)=0.15+0.051+e−z,10≤d≤100d = \exp\!\bigl(\ln 27 + \sigma(z)\,z\bigr), \quad \sigma(z) = 0.15 + \frac{0.05}{1 + e^{-z}}, \quad 10 \le d \le 100
median 26.46 mi10255075100

The drawn distance is published 5.5d5.5d minutes after the 8:30pm reveal clock — set between the 8pm early wave and the rain-delayed 9pm start. The race ends once you have covered that distance back and forth on the bridge.

Example: a draw of 32 miles posts 176 minutes later, at ~11:26pm.

In order to be eligible for prize money, racers must:

  • Submit a Strava file that begins at the start time of the race and completes the full distance.
  • Distance will be determined by the number of full bridge laps in the file, NOT the distance reported by Strava.

FAQs

Q: How long is the race?
A: I genuinely do not know. As described above, the race is a random distance between 10 and 100 miles. The distance will be picked by a computer and sent out to participants as they're running. I'll find out when you find out.
Q: Does everyone race the same distance?
A: Yes. (Unless you DNF)
Q: How does the course work if the distance is unknown?
A: The course is just back and forth on the Williamsburg Bridge. It will repeat until the distance has been covered.
Q: Can I race as a relay?
A: Yes. Feel free to make a relay of any size and switch off as often as you'd like.
Q: Are relays eligible for prize money?
A: Yes. There will be a separate category for relays. Important: to be eligible for the prize, your relay MUST submit a SINGLE Strava activity. Best way to do this is to use a running watch as a baton.
Q: How will the prize money be split?

Top relay: $201

Open Category

First: $250

Second: $100

Third: $50

Female Category

First: $250

Second: $100

Third: $50

If there are fewer than three finishers in a category, prize money will roll up.

Q: How will I get paid?
A: Venmo.
Q: I don't think I can run 100 miles.
A: I think you can, so I guess it's a tied vote.
Q: Why?
A: You never know what life will throw at you, why should you know how long your Marathon will be?
