Marathon Monday is the tenth episode of the first season of the American television sitcom, Blue Mountain State. The series takes place on the campus of the fictional Blue Mountain State University and follows the lives of the school's football team, The Goats.
In this episode, The Goats are preparing for Marathon Monday, a beloved traditional event that takes place every year at Blue Mountain State. Marathon Monday is a day-long party where everyone gets drunk, runs a marathon, and finishes with a huge bonfire. However, the school considers it an unofficial holiday and tries to shut it down.
With the help of the campus police, Coach Marty Daniels (Ed Marinaro) and The Goats attempt to keep Marathon Monday alive. The team is determined to create the best Marathon Monday ever, but the school's Dean, Eugene (Chris Romano), has other plans, including ruining the marathon through his new set of regulations and rules.
Meanwhile, Alex Moran (Darin Brooks), a Goats backup quarterback, discovers that he has a hot and smart tutor, Debra (Jennifer Baxter), who may be able to help him pass his exams. Alex puts in extra effort into studying, so that he can finally impress the girl of his dreams. However, Sebastian (Chris Kerner), one of Alex's teammates, sets out to thwart his efforts.
In another plotline, Craig (Sam Jones III), the Goats' third-string running back, is having a tough time accepting his role on the team. After a heartfelt conversation with Coach Daniels, Craig finally comes to terms with being a role player and decides to embrace his position and do whatever it takes to help the team win.
As the episode comes to a close, The Goats are on the verge of a stunning victory, despite the school's attempts to shut down Marathon Monday. However, things don't go as planned, and Alex finds himself struggling to make it through the race. Will The Goats manage to keep Marathon Monday alive? What will happen to Alex in his quest to impress Debra? Will Craig be able to help the team win? All of these questions will be answered in the exciting conclusion to Marathon Monday.
