Im willing to take the time off to make it down if a date can be decided soon. Any idea on if it will be decided in the near future?
Smörgåsbord
I live in Sweden so will not be able to come but I wanted to show my interested in getting mitch/inzult to a amrathon, that would be so freaking awesome!
@Chris : The date is 99% sure to be on October 12-13th, so you can already target these dates!
@SVenne : Thanks for your support, much appreciated Smiley
@Morks : Canadian Thanksgiving is "late" this year and is being celebrated October 14th, are you sure that hosting a marathon on thanksgiving weekend is a good idea?
We thought about this weekend for two reasons :

1. It's in-between other marathons and it gives us enough time to plan everything up
2. Thanksgiving will actually provide a day off for students so people can come back on sunday night without worrying about monday.

I can assure that if people want to celebrate thanksgiving with their families, they will have the chance since the event would close at around 5-6pm on Sunday.

I think a Marathon finale culminating in a TGiving dinner would be an awesome way to end it! Smiley

We came together for a cause, now we come together at last to give thanks.... Thanksgiving!
We could celebrate it on Sunday 5-6pm Smiley

Tagging. I live in Toronto and am interested in this as well.
Since the date has been decided, is it known if there is more chances of it to be in Montréal or Ottawa?
Worthless categories WR master
I have never said the date had been decided. Things are looking grim for Ottawa but I still need to confirm that. Right now there is a big problem because we need a place to hold the marathon in. I thought that could be done with but sadly there were complications and the places it could have been in in Ottawa are not available. Right now the date is not decided to be Thanksgiving weekend, so I'd like to ask Morks not to distribute that information. Also, who said the marathon would close at 5-6 pm on Sunday? Please don't misinform people.

I'm also from Toronto.  Any chance of an Ontario carpool location?
theenglishman, I'm happy to pick up 2-3 people from some subway stop or other on the way for me, eg York Mills Station. Sort of waiting for firm dates before I go wacky with the planning, but I can toss the idea out there I suppose.

I live right near Yonge and Sheppard, so that would be perfect!
I live in the Niagara Region. I am interested.

inzult, i can make it to union station if that helps?
ah, downtown? I guess I could handle that. You're thinking of coming in on VIA?
LG
negative just go train, but i can meet you somewhere to make it easy if that helps you?
Oakville station would be the best for me, I think. If you're on the lakeshore line, that should be easy enough!

hey guess, im just here to say i have noticed a good chunk of people are really looking into this marathon especially inzult and i because it is our first marathon :p.  i know alot of other people are into it as well.  i don't want to rush anyone or anything but in order to make all this work we really have to set a date...like now  everyone needs to make sure they can get work off and find ways out...its seems like its going to be one of those things where we just decide on where and when and hope for the best....looking for a place to host it is tough but the more things we rule out quickly the more we can focus on the other stuff....im probably wrong about how all this works but this idea really excites me and many other so please keep the thread alive and lets all work together to make something happen...PLEASE, love you all...PEACE!

im not even kidding you that hey guess is suppose to be hey guys...to much mario need sleep!

Hey guys! I've been speedrunning for a little while, but just recently started taking it much more seriously. I just did a 24 hour marathon with a bunch of games and would love to be a part of this marathon! I'm in Toronto, so it's not too far for me.

I would like to run Donkey Kong Country Returns. Estimate is about 1:50:00, but I'm currently working on it, so It will probably be about 5-10 min faster by the time the marathon is on. Thanks! I would prefer November, just saying that!
