I just received an email from MK Marathon, they have something really interesting planned for their event in September! There will be an app to guide participants through the races (superhero fun run, 5k, 10k, half marathon, and marathon) in their own time within a two week period. There's a downloadable bib, and a goody bag to collect with t-shirt, waist bag, and medal.
