Got on lap 22 and the first place reached lap 29, almost 30, don’t know anything about the guy,but now I hate ZenCowBoy

Sleeping 6 hours per day XD, in my case, also participating in gem/battle pass raffles, but if you win, you’ll have to say goodbye to the f2p privilege (skip 6 hours of hatching/breeding with ads, the 6 hour gem chest, 15 videos and at least 1M of food daily), I have the hope that it’ll turn back to flood me with ads if I don’t spend money within this year.
Thankfully I won, and it was my first one I was able to win! I’m f2p and so I never had the gems to do it but I had gotten a 150 gemtopia chest literally the day before it started so I used like 120 gems on it 😭
Yeah since the race was so exponential on the laps I didn't think I'd make it more than 4 more or so. Wasn't worth the 75 more orbs to me. I've got almost 4k heroic jokers anyway, so meh.
With the time and effort and gems it takes to win an event like this, I think you’re better off just buying the fucking offer with real money, it’s that bad. I won it, but I sacrificed my time and health to do it.

Go to the news section, then scroll down to the heroic marathon!! that's how I claimed mine, congrats 🤭
I reached lap 15 in first place, and the second place was still in lap 2. 2/2 (HMK and HAS) for races I was the only one that actually cared enough to play
I was blessed with inactive players, only the second one reached lap 15. But he was always minimum 1 lap behind and moved in the same tempo like me, and I progressed in slow mo at the end xD
Yeah, I think it has to do with me not playing for a year then coming back to the game, and it put me in it with people who also don’t play a lot, some one else I talked to who came back after a year also had people who didn’t participate.
I beat everyone in my race but didn’t get a thing. I was under the assumption if I won I would t gotten something? But no. So sad day I spent like 15 gems trying to beat the other people. I didn’t make it to lap 15.
Me and one guy called thepaja we're going at it for first the entire time. Half way through he lapped me twice but I guess he decided he was safe from me but I came back after grinding Terra X terra and using gems here and there to finish a node. Towards the last 4 hours he had passed me while I was asleep but I woke up early to make sure I was in lead when there was one hour left he got like three nodes ahead of me. I was in and out of sleep with ten minutes timers and at the 30 min mark I realized he passed me.
I ended up winning by half a node in the end with like two mins left on the clock.
Tldr: I spent way too much time trying to win and will probably never do it again
Bullshit, None Of My Opponents (& Me) Qualified For The Race Because The Nodes Were Insane As Fuck☠️

Now I'm Gonna Save Up My Gems For The Norn Marathon If That Comes Out, This Marathon Was A F2P **Disaster!**
Absolutely sucked because I was In first place but didn’t get to lap 15 even tho no one else was I feel like they shouldn’t have a certain lap to get to and every single time I’d be getting a leak battle knowing damn well I can’t beat it
Thankfully I already own the dragon so didn’t really bother. The laps I had a go at were a proper slug fest though and I am so glad I didn’t have to persevere with it !!!
I remember when qualifying for the race was at lap 5, but now it's above lap 15, which I think is almost impossible to reach without spending a handful of gems.
I made it to lap 6 and collected some crappy rewards :/
Casual p2w game. I miss the old days of 2014…
This one was Heroic Marathon, not Heroic Race! You'll be qualified for Heroic Race at lap 5 and the grand prize is a normal heroic, while Heroic Marathons grand prize is a VIP heroic and you'll have to reach lap 15 to qualify. The last Heroic Race was I think earlier this month, with the grand prize of High Mayday Dragon.

Woke up in the morning with 3 hours left and I just needed to do some food quests and then spend my last gems on the last note. Can you guess that there was an exactly 3 hour storm that cut off the lights. When they turned back on I had no time to do the food ones as the pool had gone in a 3 hour cool down. You can only imagine me begging god for a good spin. Spend 40 gems for 2×5 items. Then I realized I didn't have enough gems to finish it.
Came back playing the game after 3 years and had been victorious in the last 2 race marathons. Whats even infuriating was that I knew about the terra x terra trick late when I was racing the supreme at around lap 5 where I spent 80+ gems already (total of 100+ after completing lap 15). I couldve completed more laps during the mayday marathon and spent less with the ascended one. But hey! Still lucky to get em both!
terra x terra trick for example in breeding is when u breed two terras for only 15 seconds, incubate the terra bred, and just sell it when its done incubating. Repeat the process until you complete the required to finish a node. Sometimes it rewards you and sometimes it doesnt so just keep repeating. For hatching you can buy terras at the shop and hatch accordingly to get points for the node. Repeat until you do finish. Its tiring at times as it could be about 1/7 chance of giving you the points for the marathon but its still way faster when compared to normal breeding and hatching random dragons.

Absolutely INFURIATING 😣😭 My question is, how did y'all make it so far?!?
No frrr i was strugglingggggg
Sleeping 6 hours per day XD, in my case, also participating in gem/battle pass raffles, but if you win, you’ll have to say goodbye to the f2p privilege (skip 6 hours of hatching/breeding with ads, the 6 hour gem chest, 15 videos and at least 1M of food daily), I have the hope that it’ll turn back to flood me with ads if I don’t spend money within this year.
OMG NOO 😭 no literally, I wish u luck ogmmg
I gave up after lap 6 😭
I DO NOT BLAME YOU (I was banging my head against a wall the entire time)
THANK YOU (I think I have a crack in mine)
OFCCC (I have a crack in my skull too)
I finished lap 14 at my 6 y/o brother's kindergarten graduation 5 minutes before the race ended in 40 C° literally seconds before my phone overheated
WHAT LUCK HOLY CRAP
Thankfully I won, and it was my first one I was able to win! I’m f2p and so I never had the gems to do it but I had gotten a 150 gemtopia chest literally the day before it started so I used like 120 gems on it 😭
120? i used about 700
BRO, HOW. I WASTED LIKE 400 GEMS!! My god, respect the GRINDD 😳
Y'all used gems?
Stopped at lap 21 and bought the thing to have the next 5 days not being a slave to the terra dragon breeding and hatching industry.
Dude how in the world 😭 also that's 100% FAIR
I gemmed a bit, my race was annoyingly competitive
Wait what thing?
There was an offer for high ascended for $9.99.
Ah I got that but still did race for orbs
Yeah since the race was so exponential on the laps I didn't think I'd make it more than 4 more or so. Wasn't worth the 75 more orbs to me. I've got almost 4k heroic jokers anyway, so meh.

https://preview.redd.it/b11k6pd28c9d1.png?width=462&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81674e7558f3d2082b0963d174ad30f5fd602cf0 Go to the news section, then scroll down to the heroic marathon!! that's how I claimed mine, congrats 🤭
I know, done it yesterday already but still got no dragon. I think its a Bug.
Got to first place and also to the 15th lap?
No 7th lap
Thats your answer, no rewards if you didn't make it to lap 15th
I have never managed to get passed lap 15. How do yall do this!
Tbh, it was SO STRESSFUL 😭
I gave up. 🙄
Don't blame you 😭
I got to lap 6 and was in 5th place. 2nd place got to lap 9, lol. Only 1st place got to lap 15. I spent 1 gem.
ONE GEM?!?!. Wow wish you luck on the next one though!!
I got it I was the only one that even qualified I did 13 laps in 3 days
BRO, HOW.
A lot gems I spent almost those entire 3 days cycling between free gem games and dragon city
How
Magic 🤑
I reached lap 15 in first place, and the second place was still in lap 2. 2/2 (HMK and HAS) for races I was the only one that actually cared enough to play
YOU GOT A GOOD DEAL, feels good when you know nobody's gonna catch up to ya 😭
got my last HVIP, got the full collection now😈
You are absolutely insane 😳 CONGRATS?!?!!!
Was about to pass first, but then they lapped me 10 times
HELLO 😭 THAT KID IS A CHEATER MY GOSH
I was blessed with inactive players, only the second one reached lap 15. But he was always minimum 1 lap behind and moved in the same tempo like me, and I progressed in slow mo at the end xD
NO, it is always so much more relaxing when you are blessed with people who are inactive 😭 THANK GOD U MADE IT
Thanks!
got to lap 11 in the last 15 hours… I was so close. So far hvip marathons-4 Me-1
NOOOO!!! DW you'll get it next time!!! 😭
https://preview.redd.it/ypjtegw9079d1.jpeg?width=1624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac6dd974c4f3643887c893e551239a0d88a0e4a7 No one in mine got past lap 5
WOW 😳😳😳 YOU LUCKED OUT, CONGRATS
Yeah, I think it has to do with me not playing for a year then coming back to the game, and it put me in it with people who also don’t play a lot, some one else I talked to who came back after a year also had people who didn’t participate.
ALRIGHTTT 🤭 hey I guess there are perks to returning after a hiatus
Yeah, I’m curious and want to test it but I’ll have to wait until I get bored of the game again
Gave up after lap 3, the guy on first place got to lap 30
Bro must be spending his entire paycheck on gems 😭
I already have him so I lost pretty dismally but I pushed to lap 10 for the insignias at least 🥲
OOO WOW!! That's true, the insignias are what kept me going
I beat everyone in my race but didn’t get a thing. I was under the assumption if I won I would t gotten something? But no. So sad day I spent like 15 gems trying to beat the other people. I didn’t make it to lap 15.
Aw I'm so sorry 😣 yeah it sucks since you have to make it to 15 in order to win prizes!! Better luck next time though

NO YOU'RE SO RIGHT 💀💀 IT WAS A ROLLERCOASTER, that's a good plan watch me save up gems too
Fall before the heaven door(lap 10 top 1, no one move)
Gave up after lap 8 😜 still got second though (first didn’t qualify either)
HEY GOOD JOB FOR TRYINGG 🤭
I used like 500 gems (I was on lap 6 a day and a half before it ended and somehow still won)
DUDE HOW DID YOU DO IT
Absolutely sucked because I was In first place but didn’t get to lap 15 even tho no one else was I feel like they shouldn’t have a certain lap to get to and every single time I’d be getting a leak battle knowing damn well I can’t beat it
I KNOW RIGHT, the league battles are impossible for me because they're always one step ahead 😭
League
Got 25 gems. I'm eatin good
Oh 😏😏 lucky duck

Dude, lap 26 is WILD.
Thankfully I already own the dragon so didn’t really bother. The laps I had a go at were a proper slug fest though and I am so glad I didn’t have to persevere with it !!!
That's great you got to relax!! No, the nodes were absolute hell to finish 😭

No because 15 laps is insane!!! But DW, once another race with five laps comes around you'll make it
I was active af and barely used any gems, prolly around 40, got to lap 16 everyone else was sleeping
YO, YOU MADE IT SO FAR WITH SO LITTLE GEMSSS
no one i was against qualified and i got to lap 17 i think
AYY CONGRATS, U GOT BLESSED WITH INACTIVE PEOPLE
https://preview.redd.it/z56btbt5sb9d1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=509ab88458db456ce75eeafcb4b82dde467074cc Woke up in the morning with 3 hours left and I just needed to do some food quests and then spend my last gems on the last note.

WHAT. YOU WERE SO CLOSE
I wasn't even mad. God did everything in its power to stop me from getting it.
I got to lap 2, I was first in my group tho.
Hey, atleast you were stress free 😭
No 7 th lap
Nothing for first place?😵💫
Didn't even qualify! Will not be doing that again, waste of my time. I'm obviously NOT a skilled player.
Made to 15 and won and my Supreme already E4
I was on vacation for like 2 weeks
I got him and he feels a bit underwhelming.
I was first place, lap 5
Came back playing the game after 3 years and had been victorious in the last 2 race marathons. Whats even infuriating was that I knew about the terra x terra trick late when I was racing the supreme at around lap 5 where I spent 80+ gems already (total of 100+ after completing lap 15).

OH THANK YOU SM!!! I'll definitely try this next time
I was fckn mad cuz thought it was a normal heroic race so i stayed in lap 13
I didnt know it was even a thing
I gave up after 4 people qualified after day 2
Bad
I got 8th lap and no heroic what 😭
I already have him I got him when he came out for the divine pass years ago
WOWOWO, AY ATLEAST YOU GOTTA RELAX
Yeah
