The phenomenon of having to come out as bisexual to the same person/people repeatedly because they assumed or hoped that your sexuality was a "phase." Refers less to the holiday and more to the 1993 Bill Murray comedy film in which the main character experiences the same day over and over.
"My visit home turned into Bisexual Groundhog Day. My mom acted shocked when I told her I'm going to Pride next week, so I had to come out to her as bisexual AGAIN."

to watch an entire season of a TV series in a short period of time, especially if you watch them in one sitting.
I just got the last season of Lost on DVD, and I had to marathon it last weekend. I couldn't put it down.

A footrace of 42.195 kilometres, which is usually held on roads. It's featured at the Olympics and the World Track and Field Championships. The race was borne out of the death of Greek army messenger Pheidippides, who ran from village of Marathon to Athens to inform the Athenians of the Greek's victory over the Persian army. Pheidippides died upon delivering the message.
"Haile Gebrselassie clocked a world record 2 hours, 4 minutes, and 36 seconds at the Berlin Marathon."

YOUR GIRLFRIEND/WIFE AND YOU WILL MAKE LOVE 26.22 TIMES IN ONE NIGHT. THAT’S ROUGHLY 3.3 TIMES PER HOUR, FOR 8-HOURS… THAT WAY, IF YOU GO TO BED AT 10 PM, YOU CAN FINISH AND YET STILL GET ENOUGH SLEEP TO BE PRODUCTIVE THE NEXT-DAY (PREFERABLY A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY). HOORAY! HOWEVER, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A MINI-FRIDGE, TWO-PLASTIC GLASSES, FOUR-ENERGY DRINKS, SIX-BOTTLED WATERS, THREE-GALLONS OF ORANGE JUICE, 10-MINI BOTTLES OF KY (SUFFICIENT LUBE), AND 2-3 SUB-PAR MOVIES; BECAUSE IF THEY PROVE TOO INTERESTING, YOU AND/OR YOUR LOVER COULD POSSIBLY GET SIDE-TRACKED, COSTING YOU PRECIOUS TIME. THIS TIME SHALL BE CALLED, “MARATHON”.
"Tina and I will hopefully entertain thoughts of "Marathon" tonight. I accidentally left my seeing glasses at the office during lunch and ingested 4-Viagra pills by mistake. Things aren't looking good down below. So I figure I will mention it at dinner and see how she takes to the idea."
