What's is everyones favorite marathon or half marathon?

If there could be a new marathon somewhere there isn't one now, where should it be? ex. Island hopping the Florida Keys

True Dan - I would really need to think about where else there should be one - maybe in Princeton along the Tow Path so I can jog over and run it...

Favorite Matathon is Boston no comparison.

None; but I would like to run one half marathon in a life time.

On the Himalayas or an archipelago in the Caribbean, or even the plains of Africa near Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Well, they're obvious locations for marathons, tourism, etc. But I don't think Egypt is taken... Rolling Eyes

Basically, any cool location you can envision already has one or more.

Do you literally just type egypt marathon as keywords in google so I can always be proven wrong Laughing

Well I found one location that can't be proven wrong anymore; Madagascar.

There are at least two near Kilimanjaro as well Caribean Archipelgos... well youwould have to pick one... I believe that there is currently no Marathon on St. Thomas - the only reason I know that is I know someone trying to start up some support for a full or half there... Smile
