A Rear-volution in Endurance Gear. Built for speed. Not decency.

In Jim Fixx’s 1977 book The Complete Book of Running, he didn’t just discuss the physical benefits of running—he explored the confidence it builds. Here at Skratch Labs, we believe that performance and confidence go hand in hand. That’s why we’re proud (and slightly concerned) to introduce our most aerodynamic innovation yet: The MARATHONG—the perfect solution for the minimalist athlete who believes less is more.

Born in the Lab. Perfected with Questionable Judgment.

Deep within our classified testing facility in Coal Creek Canyon, we spent countless hours engineering the perfect running short. But after 137 prototypes and one existential crisis, we realized:

The problem isn’t the short. The problem is that the short exists.

Thus, The MARATHONG was born—a performance hydration thong designed to reduce drag, eliminate excess fabric, and make other runners question everything.

 

🍑We Cracked The Code on Innovation: Key Features & Cheeky Cutting-Edge Tech

👀 High-Visibility Design: Not because of reflectivity, but because no one will ever unsee it.

🚀 Zero-Gravity Compression – By removing all unnecessary fabric, we’ve achieved ultimate weight reduction. It’s not just light—it’s practically nonexistent.

💦 Anti Tushy Trench™ Moisture Management System – Advanced airflow technology that ensures your sweat has nowhere to go but…well, you get it.

🔄 Self-Confidence Booster – No race day jitters when everyone else is more uncomfortable than you.

👃 Odor Repellant (Unconfirmed) – It’s a thong. There’s nowhere for the smell to hide—for better or for worse.

🏅 “DNF-Proof” – No one has ever dropped out of a race in the MARATHONG. Why? Because you’ll run faster than ever to get to the finish and put on real clothes.

 

Disclaimer: 

  • The MARATHONG is not OSHA-certified.

  • May void your gym membership. 

  • May cause race photographers to retire early. 

  • Not responsible for unsolicited cheers, jeers, or emergency blankets from concerned onlookers. 

  • DO NOT wear near open flames. Or closed flames. Or any flames, really.

Just what I need for: Muscle Man Short Sleeve Skinsuit

Maybe Skratch could team up with Corbah to create a MARATHONG skin suit. :-)

Needs a cape

When worn alone, I suggest wearing a cape and knee-high socks... also the little tequila bottles come in handy!

Finally one for the guys

Now all you men understand the beauty and comfort of running in a thong that we women have known for ages. So glad this was produced so we all can experience that extra wow and convenience .

Avoid when cold out

Having to explain shrinkage is an issue. I’d like to suggest maybe a padded version or a place to stuff.

Pro Tip - Rotate 180 for easy access

If you rotate it 180 degrees you have much easier access to your hydration + the added benefit of faster pit stops.
