In 2010 the Maniac Corner tent drew runners from across the country to the Williams Route 66 Marathon. Terry Nelson, from Kansas City, is a member of both Marathon Maniacs and the 50 States Marathon Club. This marathon was his fifty-first marathon.

“Maniac Corner was one of the reasons I decided to run Route 66,” Nelson said. “I had already run the Oklahoma City race, but I have a sister in Tulsa, so I decided to come to this race. “The Williams Route 66 did a great job of welcoming us, and Maniac Corner was great.”

Andrea Amend from Wisconsin became a Maniac with the Williams Route 66 Marathon – it was her third race in 56 days. This race was her twenty-third marathon overall.

“I came here because of Maniac Corner,” Amend said. “It was an excellent experience, with places to sit and personal gear check.”

New for 2011
