If you’re a sport billy and one of your lifelong ambitions is to puff your way through the world’s major marathons, then this blog’s for you. (Note, this blog’s not for me. I figure the reason God made cars is to get 42km down the road without having to sweat.)
There are probably as many marathons around the globe as there are stars in the sky, but I thought I’d pull a cool selection together of 20 of the world’s best marathons in 2010, so lace up and read on…
