Hey everyone,

I'll be helping WMJ out where I can in getting this marathon to be a reality again this year. Currently we are looking to set the date for the event to be the weekend of July 14th - July 17th, but we are flexible on changing this date if it doesn't work out for most people.  I'll be playing at the marathon myself, but of course we are looking to have many more F-ZERO runners come and be a part of the event too. If specific F-ZERO games have enough runners, we will also be hosting competitions for those games. Whether it's a head to head single segment race, or 4P tourney like for FZX last event, runners will get a chance to bring out their best and have fun with fellow friends and rivals in person.

At the moment, WMJ and I would like to set two deadlines. The first is to find out those who are interested in going to the event and staying at a hostel.  The deadline for this will be March 31st. After finding out who is interested in going and staying at a hostel, we will then book a place that is nearby the event space. There are a couple options at the moment. One is a hostel that can take up to 18 people for about 380 Euro per night. For a three day weekend, that could work out to be 60 Euro/person (for the whole weekend) with 18 people attending.  There are also other options available if we have more or less people who can go. Ultimately, we are aiming to keep the housing cost at a maximum of 100 Euro/person for the event. WMJ will be updating the OP with information on hostels in the area for that weekend.

After the March 31st deadline, people who are looking to go to the event will need to organize a place to stay and transportation to the event space on their own.

The 2nd deadline is May 1st. This is the last day to sign up to be a part of the marathon.

Hey guys. I appreciate both of you organizing this great event again! I'm very excited to come aswell.
I'm pretty sure all dates will work for me, don't have any big plans around that time

For the games I want to participate in, it kinda depends on what others submit aswell. But these are the games I could potentially do:
F-Zero GX
F-Zero X (Multiplayer only)
F-Zero Climax
F-Zero AX

As we get closer to the submission deadline I'll update these with more info and estimates

Hello everyone, I will gladly come to the F-zero meetup in July.
The dates are okay for me, however, since I have to work on Friday/Monday and I don't live too far away, I don't think I need to stay three nights in Utrecht. Friday night and saturday night should be okay for me, or even just saturday night.
If anyone else is in the same situation, we could maybe book something together, else I'll just pay my share of the hostel and maybe not sleep there all three nights.

I mainly play GX and would gladly play on stream or participate in competitions.
I'd gladly play X too, but I'm a filthy casual in that game.

See you all in July !

 Shame about the date I would of really liked to have attended this but i will be on another holiday i prebooked. Hopefully I can attended if there is a similar event next year

Bumping this thread to bring attention to the update in the OP. The marathon is now merged with the BSG (Benelux Speedrunner Gathering). WMJ has updated the OP with all the info on how to submit.

 Unfortunately I won't be available with the change of dates

 Hey guys.  Sorry for the bump but I was wondering how the meet went.  Did everyone turn up?  Are there any pics?  Just curious as I missed out but would be up for it sometime in the future.
