Has anyone raced a Marathon in this shoe? Does it have enough support to go the full distance? Trying to decide between the Katana or the Zoom Marathoner.

Adidas makes better racing flats.

Not for me they don't....
I would be very interested in responses to the original question.

It probably depends on your body type and size, as well as gait and foot type. Wanjiru seemed to do quite well in the Rac3r last month, even though he has rather flat feet.
But the Marathoner is certainly a more substantial shoe, if that's what you want to know.
I'd race a marathon in the Rac3r. There's a good deal of shoe there, it's got a nice stiff plate that will provide support as well.
I've raced a half in the streaks, and my feet felt fine afterwards, I'd consider wearing those for a full, but would definitely feel better about wearing the Katanas
No one runs in Nikes any more, get with the program
Wait, it has a "plate?"

not like a spike plate but one of those midsole plates in the arch, just somethin for a little support
Nike makes terrible running shoes.
