I'm not a runner but I love the idea of fundraising marathons -- not only do they benefit a worthy cause, the participants get healthier too. Everyone wins! So I'm loving this idea -- A Rock and Roll Marathon. It takes place in San Diego, and as your pound the pavement on the 26.2-mile course, you can pace yourself to the tunes of over 40 bands performing live music. And not only is the race itself fun -- the marathon was voted as having the best Post-Race party, according to Competitor Magazine.

The next race happen on June 1, 2008 -- which gives you plenty of time to train!
