Pick a Marathon and Go for It!

Do you need some motivation for running? Have you ever thought of training for a half or full marathon? There are some fabulous marathons that you can run in across the globe. Here is an overview of the five of the major marathons that you can run along with four more fascinating marathons. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Major Marathons

  • Boston Marathon – This is held on Patriot’s Day which occurs on the third Monday in April. However, you must qualify for this marathon.
  • ING New York City Marathon – Early November.
  • LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon – Early October.
  • London Marathon – First half of April.
  • Berlin Marathon – Late September.

The last four marathons on this list are filled on a first come, first served basis. Some of them are very hard to get into and the best way for London and Berlin is to use an overseas agency or to run for a charity.

Other Fun Marathons

Other interesting marathons include:

  • Disney Marathon – January. You get to run through all four of the parks at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
  • Las Vegas Marathon – Early December.
  • Honolulu Marathon – Early December.
  • Country Music Marathon – Late April. Held in Nashville, Tennessee.

Remember that to train for a marathon as a beginner you need to spend more than a year. However, having the motivation of training for a huge marathon can truly spur you on when you hit your plateaus. Make sure that if you do want to shoot for a particular marathon, that you find out all the details and sign up as soon as possible so that you do not miss out.
