ABOUT THE SL MARATHON

The basic concept behind the SL Marathon is to create a competition in which any SL user, new or old, can compete for fun, without the need to pay out for expensive HUDs, AOs, vehicles or anything. Instead competitors do something which all avatars have, the ability to run.

Using various tracks around Second Life, competitors run against each other in order to reach the top spot, 1st place.

With Linden Dollars donated before the start of each race, the top six finishers have a great chance at winning big prizes.

The SL Marathon is simple, challenging but most importantly fun. Every new person that takes part always comes back for more.

So put on your running boots and get ready for some fun filled marathon racing.
