Jones Soda Bottles!
While working at Minecon, we ran into Todd Martini, digital marketing manager for Jones Soda. He was there promoting Jones, who was including bottles of its soda with all of the swag bags that were being given out. Randomly distributed in those bottles were special Minecon editions of the soda; flavors such as Fizzy Fish, Pork Pop, and Rockin’ Redstone. Everyone really enjoyed the bottles, but unfortunately, they were currently Minecon-only.
At the annual Child’s Play Charity dinner and auction, we ran into Todd again. He had just dropped off some special versions of The Guild-themed bottles, and we asked him about partnering with Jones for the Minecraft Marathon. Todd agreed that this would be a neat opportunity to work together for charity, so we exchanged information, and have been talking off and on this past month.
Today, we’re pleased to announce that Mojang has given its approval to re-use the Minecon labels for Minecraft Marathon! All of the standard flavors that were given out will be available again (there were a few super limited edition bottles that aren’t included, for obvious reasons!). How do you get one? We may raffle a few off, but we’ll definitely auction some packs; these will be listed on our Prizes and Auctions page. Additionally, we will be getting codes for free packs of myJones, allowing you to create your own custom bottles!
We’d like to give a special thanks to Todd and Jones Soda for helping to sponsor us in this charitable endeavor. We’ll see you all back here for the marathon on January 13th!
1337 Followers!
Wow!
We asked for 1337 followers by tonight, and with the influx of people from the League of Legends forum, we hit that pretty quickly. In fact, we hit it before we could even finish this post!
So, as promised, here are some League of Legends PAX Sivir codes. Go into your account and redeem one! If they are redeemed before you can get to them, don’t worry, we have many more to give away before and during the Minecraft Marathon.

We also promised that we’d give away some games, so here’s a full Humble Bundle #4, complete with 12 games and various soundtracks! Click fast!
Thanks to everyone who has followed us from the beginning, or has just now followed us. Please join us in raising money for Child’s Play Charity during our marathon, January 13th-15th. See you there!
P.S. Yes, the website totally crashed while I was trying to update this. We may have to do some stress tests before the actual marathon, when Mojang tweets about us…
Games Giveaway
Recently, the folks at the Humble Indie Bundle released Humble Bundle #4, bringing in over 2.3 million dollars for indie game developers, Child’s Play Charity, and to keep the website running. We snagged a few of these codes, and wanted to give them away to our fans. The packs below include Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, Super Meat Boy, Shank, NightSky HD and various soundtracks from the games.
We also have a few of the full bundles, which came with two extra games, and the entire Humble Bundle #3, but we’re saving those for later! If you’re one of the first to get here, please click a link below and see if it has been redeemed. If it hasn’t, feel free to enter your information and claim it for yourself. If it has, try the next bundle. If you’re the first, don’t claim all three; it won’t do you any good to have multiple copies of the same game!
Have fun!
Auction Items
While donating to charity is something that doesn’t always require incentive, it certainly helps. A group that you encountered on the internet is asking for your money, and the economy in the U.S. and across the world hasn’t been the best in the past year.
Because of that, not only do we plan to livestream our marathon and dance around for your personal enjoyment, but we’ve also put together some impressive and desirable prize and auction packages. Here are just a few of the items we’re offering:
ThinkGeek Minecraft Foam Pickaxe
ThinkGeek Minecraft Foam Sword
Bungie Bundle (games, shirts and more)
Xbox Live Minecon Avatar Cape
The Gamer Grab Bag (more items being added!)
Signed Mojang Booth Block
Avatars by Junkboy
These are just a few of the items we’ll be offering during the weekend. Please check out our auctions page, which we’ll be updating as new items come in. Thank you!
Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to our inaugural post here on Minecraft Marathon! We’ve been tweeting for a few months now, but we finally have a new, shiny site up and running.
If you’re not familiar with us, we’ll give you a bit of background: Minecraft Marathon is an event where a group of gamers get together, play Minecraft, do crazy things, and livestream all of it. We’ll also be doing interviews, raffles and auctions throughout the weekend, and our viewers will be able to interact with us through an online text chat. All of the funds raised during the weekend go to Child’s Play Charity, an organization that provides books and games to kids in hospitals.
Our marathon runs from January 13th at noon Pacific Time (UTC-8) through January 15th at 5:00pm.
