Lok Marathon

For other uses, see Lok.

"This is one of the longest and most arduous races in the galaxy. Don't bother with it unless you have the time and stamina. The Empire doesn't come here often, so it gets a lot of use from swoopers looking for an illegal race. The trouble is most of them do not complete the marathon. Beware of dangerous beasts, pirates, confusing mazes and a very large and active volcano."

―The race coordinator, to a pilot^[1]

The Lok Marathon was a swoop racing competition held on the planet Lok. The race began just outside the city of Nym's Stronghold, and continued through various obstacles, such as the Great Maze of Lok and Mount Chaolt, for a very long distance.^[1]
