The Ultimate Guide to Marathons Specifications
So you've run the New York, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco marathons. Now what? Or maybe you're a first-time marathoner with certain prerequisites, such as beautiful scenery, mild temperatures, uplifting crowds, and a fast course. The Ultimate Marathon Guide gets up-close and personal with 100 top destination and 80 smaller, local races that will help you choose your next--or first--marathon. Harriers will find details ranging from course records to entry fees to landmarks you'll encounter en route such as "the country's oldest lighthouse" (Shamrock Sportsfest Marathon). Course highlights allow readers to quickly determine the appropriateness of the event. For instance, a first-time marathoner looking for beautiful scenery may be drawn to the Leadville Mosquito Marathon based on its "Course Beauty" score of 9 out of 10. However, the novice should be wary: "This mosquito bites! Actually, mosquitoes are the least of your concerns at the Leadville Mosquito Marathon, named for a recurring obstacle on the course--Mosquito Pass. Quite simply the toughest marathon in North America, Mosquito runs above 11,000 feet for 80% of the race." Ouch! The guide concludes with bar graphs showing per mile elevation gains and losses, preparing the budding marathoner for those flat and fast stretches as well as the mid-course Mt. Everest climb. --Cate Bick
