What Are Some Popular Penguin Encounters?
Because the Brigade is Internet-based, there are many Penguin events located across North America and the world. Here is a very small sampler of events that have special significance to the Penguin Brigade: Walt Disney World Marathon, Orlando, Fla. (January) The Disney Marathon has a reputation as beginner-friendly because of its generous finishing time (7 hrs) and excellent organization. FYI, the finishers medals are shaped like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck for the marathon and half-marathon, respectively. New York City Marathon (November) Charlotte Penguin extraordinaire Ron Horton calls it a 26.2-mile standing ovation. Wear something with your name on it and people will respond! Canadians can participate in the International Fun Run the day before the race. And dont miss the excellent pre-race pasta dinner organized by NYCE Penguin Daniel Wellner. Every year, a big group of New York City and Environs (NYCE) Penguins participates in the marathon.
