I looked at the results and there were 5,013 finishers in 2014.
There are probably a few more who did not finish and those who registered but did not turn up.

PS I am going to Phoenix for the Rocknroll half marathon on 18th January.

Hi rwoman,
Thanks for the offer. I have not decided whether to go to Dublin yet ( a bit too far ahead time wise and may have other Rock n roll ones to do - I might do SFO in March, San diego in May and maybe lisbon in October)

This is my first year running seriously. My goal is to do a marathon before the end of the year (maybe Irleand, maybe Vegas).
For my half, I'm eying Tromso's in Norway in the middle of the summer. It's a nighttime race (half marathon starts at 10pm) but there's sunlight which should be awesome!

destination marathons?
Ran the Hong Kong Marathon today, not sure it qualifies as a destination marathon since it's a two hour flight away.
Now debating where to run next. I'm thinking somewhere in Japan in the fall or maybe I'll have to suffer through a week in Honolulu again in December.

It is pricy, but I figure registering for one once a year is cheaper than getting fat :-)
I hear Disney runs great events.
My girl scout troop is volunteering at the 10K the day before, that should be fun.

Plus all of the RnR races have gotten really crazy (and way too crowded too).
My favorite marathon--my best--was also the cheapest:

(it was about $75 the year I did it).

Thanks for the suggestion! I won't have as many days off as I was expecting so I'm looking at something closer than Tromso's. I've seen the Provo midnight run and sounds like an option too.

Walt Disney Marathon is FANTASTIC! One of the best marathons I've ever ran from a participant standpoint. Every single detail was thought of! Of course...you pay dearly for that wit the registration fee! Only negative is you have to be on the bus at some ungodly hour!
