I&#8217;ve got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hofmarathon.com\/\">Pro Football Hall of Fame Marathon<\/a> out in Canton, OH. I signed up for it because they offered me a discount code to register for $26.20. Hard to resist, right? And everything from flights to hotels are already paid for, uno-refundable.
