\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2025 Poetry Marathon starts at 9 AM ET on Saturday May 17th and will go till 9 AM ET on Sunday May 18th.<\/p>\n

Those who are interested in doing a half marathon start at 9 AM ET on Saturday May 17th and go till 9 PM on that same day. Or they can start at 9 PM ET on the 17th and continue to 9 AM ET on the 18th, which works better for some time zones.<\/p>\n

The goal of The Poetry Marathon is to write and post one poem an hour for 24 hours. Half marathoners write one poem per hour for a 12 hour period. You can catch up if you miss an hour, but you cannot get ahead.<\/p>\n

This is an international event with participants from all around the globe. Generally 500 people attempt the marathon. You do not have to be a poet to participate. To find out how to convert your timezone go here.<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a new prompt offered every hour. Some find this helpful, some ignore it completely.<\/p>\n
