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.

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
