Ko-oren City Marathon

Postby Ko-oren » Fri Aug 17, 2012 1:38 pm

Sign-ups are open until Tuesday (Tuesday, August 21st, 21:00 CET)
You can post your RPs until 21:00.


Welcome to the Ko-oren City Marathon! This marathon runs through most neighborhoods of the capital city of Ko-oren. The country itself has been very active in sports throughout the world, but the main feat of hosting an international competition is still something that was to be done. Here it finally is!


The marathon organization hopes many countries will sign up for the event; if there are many athletes and if the event is successful, the organization will look into the possibility of hosting more marathons or other disciplines in other parts of the country. For the Ko-oren City Marathon: countries may supply up to 10 athletes, that will all run for themselves, there will be no team results. Nations are asked to add the skill modifier for each athlete, though this is subject to a few rules:
1) Athletes without skill modifier will be scored badly
2) All athletes from one country may have a maximum average skill modifier of 5
3) The skill modifier must be a number between 1 and 10: whole numbers only
4) Having athletes with very extreme skill modifiers will be penalized (min-maxing)

Application form:
Name of nation:
Nation's three-letter abbreviation:
Number of athletes:
Name of all athletes (skill):


I will use xkoranate’s Mens' Marathon for the event.
I will add more information on the city and some of the neighborhoods as applications come in. You can use this for RP’s in the days before the event, which will aid skill modifiers.
The date of the event is was TBA; this depends on the number of applications. (See date at the top of this post)

Thanks Darmen!

Calimera, could you change the skill modifiers so that the average is 5 or lower? Could you also use whole numbers (as in 4, 5, 6)? Thanks for the application!

Well, I'm using the Mens' Marathon scorinator to do this, so if you could change it around a bit, that would be great. Otherwise you'll have to RP around it

Thanks for the signups everyone!

A brief history of running in Maklohi Vai

The marathon distance of 26.2 miles is actually on the short side for most Vaian runners. From the beginning of Maklohi Vai's history, running has been a big part of life. First it was used to go from village to village. This almost always included a fair amount of elevation gain in addition to the steep mileage.
The Maklohi Vai Games are an annual event that involves athletes competing in traditional sports of the island. One of these is the island run, which involes the participants running all the way around the island. This is a distance of 141 miles, and is split over three days for an average of 47 miles per day. Because Vaian runners are trained for running longer distances than a marathon, they tend to have better stamina and endurance than average. The marathon runners for this event were selected from the top finishers of the last island run.
"For the glory of our people, we govern our nation freely. For the glory of Polynesia, we help and strengthen our friends. For the glory of the earth, we do not destroy what it has bestowed upon us."

The Route

*I’ll use kilometers here, because I’m used to those. A marathon is about 42 kilometers (42 km, 195 m to be precise), so if you want to convert: every five kilometers is about one eighth of the total, and 1,6 km equals one mile.

The marathon will start on Zirishtun, the largest square of the city and this is where the athletes will receive a short presentation by the mayor of Ko-oren City. Zirishtun means ‘silver rock’, and marks the place where the first banks of Ko-oren popped up (five hundred years ago). From here, the athletes will run through the city center in a spiral from, from inside to the outside. After five kilometers, they will leave the center and move on to the hilly neighborhood of Awinjerm, ‘river hill’. This is where large mansions are, but it is most famous for having almost all embassies of other countries. After 12 kilometers, the athletes will go to the eastern part of the city, which is most visited by tourists. Here athletes will cross 5 of 11 famous bridges, and they will eventually pass before the parliament building, known from the 200 Korona banknote (*see my factbook).

After 20 kilometers, the athletes will briefly leave the city to run through the forests that surround Ko-oren City on the east and south. 11 kilometers later, they will re-enter the city through the south gate. After 35 kilometers, athletes will arrive at the Ministry Center, where the country’s ministries are located. The route will go by the Foreign and External Policies ministry, the National Resources and Energy ministry, the Sports, Well-being and Culture ministry, the Education and Science ministry and the Urban Development ministry. After 40 kilometers, the route will go slightly to the west of the city, only a few kilometers from the starting point. The finish, after 42 kilometers and 195 meters, will be in the National Stadium, used by local football clubs Ko-oren Capital FC and Kthosl FC.
