Women love doing things that allow them to create a memory. This comes from meeting new people and taking part in something that they care about. This is one of the main reasons that runners love competing in marathons. Through these events, they have the opportunity to meet other runners, make friends, and share in something great as a group. These marathon memories are significant and most all runners keep their own special keepsakes from each marathon that they are a part of.
Making Memories
When attending a marathon, there are plenty of opportunities for people to get to meet and mingle with others who share a similar interest. It is the joy of running that brings them together, but once friendships are formed; they are long lasting relationships. They get together before the event and hang out with one another and many will run with their newfound friends during the marathon. After the event, they often get together and plan their next meeting at a nearby marathon.
Holding onto Memories
Every race comes with a bib that has a number on it. Some ladies may win a metal. There are also photos taken throughout each event that racers can take home. Many of them are captured by friends and family who have come to watch the races as they take place. This means that women runners have to find a way to store their memories and some choose to create memory boxes or photo albums that allow them to keep everything together so that they can hold on to the memories that they created during the marathon.
