Marathon Calendar:
Choose Your Favorite Marathon

This marathon calendar provides you with an overview of the most beautiful marathons in the world. You can virtually run a marathon in every country, and in most countries there are several good options. When you choose your marathon, think about:

- Timing: when will you be ready?
- Weather: what kind of weather do you prefer to train and race in?
- Size of marathon: do you like a race with many runners and a cheering crowd or do you prefer the opposite?
- Financial situation: did you save enough for your marathon trip or do you have a tight budget?
- Marathon goals: is this your first marathon and do you prefer a 'fun' race, or are you an experienced runner who wants to beat his PR?

Take these factors into account when deciding about the best marathon for you.
