New Tools! Forums, Blogs and Route Planner.

In an ongoing effort to improve our events and our website, Park City Marathon has partnered with www.realbuzz.com to offer our runners a new level of interaction on line. Realbuzz.com is the UK’s most popular lifestyle and community on line networking site aimed at individuals interested in fitness and nutrition, and, especially, running. They have “jumped the pond” and have launched www.realbuzz.com here in the US.

Our partnership with www.realbuzz.com  provides a host of cool web tools that will increase your ability to share your passion on line:

FORUMS – our new event forums provide an online community for sharing information about the Park City Marathon: logistics, course information, training, goal setting, and fun stuff to do along the way, advice for newbies, and more!

BLOGS –realbuzz.com blogs are as good as blogs you find elsewhere, but they are better because they are designed for runners! Sure, you can share your own personal story, photos, communicate among friends you make on line, etc. but our realbuzz.com enhanced blogs also allow you to personalize your blog to a specific running event and goal. You can document your runs on our integrated workout log which is built right into your running blog. The workout log allows you to record the length and duration of your runs as well as other pertinent information such as weather, terrain, weight, etc. in an easy-to-use, easy-to-read format.

ROUTE PLANNERS – www.realbuzz.com route planners are great in two ways: You can plan out -- and measure -- your next run from the comfort of your chair (and then print it out and stick it in your pocket for your run) with our GPS based interactive maps. You can also save your runs for future reference. As runners save their runs, they can also search out other runs based on zips codes and cities. You can find running routes when you travel, or when you are checking out a new area. The route planner is yet another way to be an on line community, and, like the other www.realbuzz.com features is based on your passion: running.

We are happy to bring you these running based social networking web enhancements that help you connect with other runners. Check back with us often and create an on line community through the Park City Marathon website!
