R U N N I NMarathons around the world: the global calendar
637 upcoming marathons across the world in one list, sorted by date and updated weekly - the World Marathon Majors, national classics and races at the edge of the map.
The Majors and the map
The World Marathon Majors - Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York and Sydney - are the sport's grand tour, each filling through lotteries and qualifying times. But the global calendar is far bigger: polar marathons, desert races, midnight sun starts above the Arctic Circle and city races on every continent.
Building a marathon year
Serious marathoners typically race the distance two or three times a year. A common pattern: a spring race for a time, an autumn race for the experience - or the reverse. Wherever you point the map, registration on this list always goes straight to the official organiser.
