The Marathon Games are Rounds of athletic events which take place in The Florida Keys. The organizers of each of the different Rounds is TV88, with the assistance of those Florida Keys Non Profits who participate by either competing or volunteering.
The Participating Non Profits benefit by financially sharing in all the registration fees, and by giving their staff and volunteers an exceptional time out with friends and family.

1. Competed with a team
