Magical Mountain's Tower of Terror Marathon, Benefiting Give Kids The World

Many years ago there were jogging trails around the Hollywood Tower Hotel at MGM Studios. In September 1994 the jogging trails were shut down shortly after up and coming movie actress Shirley Malone and her husband mysteriously disappeared. On October 27, 2007 the trails will reopen for The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ 13K. Nathan and the Magical Mountain team will be retracing the path that Shirley and her husband took many years ago.

What nightmares will await The Magical Mountain team? Will they suffer the same fate of the Malones? What would make them want to participate in a race they may never come back from? The simple answer is to raise funds for a very special organization called Give Kids The World, (GKTW). For more information about this event head to our Magical Mountain, Tower of Terror Marathon page.
