Mystery Marathon 2024

Thanks to our daughter, real-life marathon runner Bethany Mills - b.mills in this challenge - for posing for this photo.

The Mystillery Literary and Athletic Association (MLAA) welcomes you to the first running of the Mystery Marathon! Your goal is to to complete the marathon by reading 26.2 mysteries during the year. (No actual running is required.) One book is equivalent to one mile, and the number of pages equivalent to the number of steps taken to complete that mile. Just read the General Information for Runners page and run your first mile! You'll be crossing the finish line to the Finishers' Column in no time!

(submit once for each mile).
