The global distribution of marathons is also directly proportional to the economic development of the countries/regions where they are located. Some famous marathons with a long history mostly appear in countries with a long running culture, such as Europe, America, Japan and Australia. With a long history and the support of local economy and resources, many races are very distinctive. Asia, such as China, is a very hot area for marathon in recent years. In China, many third-and fourth-tier cities also have marathons, and cities such as Shanghai have more than ten marathons a year. So what are the famous marathons in the world?
Boston Marathon:
The oldest city marathon in the world-the palace-level event in the marathon. 120 years of history, many stories are worth telling. It is the must-run wish of all marathon enthusiasts.
In addition to its long history, Boston has a performance threshold BQ that needs to be reached for participation. BQ is very strict, and it is difficult to achieve it without years of training, so it is very precious to participate in Boma. If you can't reach BQ, you can only try other ways, such as charity places.
The track of the Boston Marathon has basically not changed from the beginning, so it does not meet the IAAF track standards, and running a world record here will not be recognized, but who cares? On the other hand, Boma is equivalent to Rolls Royce in the marathon.
This track features screaming tunnels and sad ridges. The former will be kissed by a group of girls in Wesleyan Girls' School, and the latter will appear on an uphill slope about 30 kilometers, which makes people feel desperate.
New York Marathon:
The first marathon in the world. It is the largest in the world and has the greatest actual influence.
The level of running the race, commercial value and the scale of the race (50,000+people complete the whole marathon) are among the highest in the world. There is nothing to say. The New York Marathon runs through many blocks in the world's first city, which is a microcosm of the world.
Tokyo Marathon:
Boston ranks first, new york ranks first in scale, and Tokyo ranks first in service.
It can be said that Tokyo Marathon is the best service marathon in the world. In addition to the personal items (many delicious foods) provided by many Tokyo residents along the way, the post-game services, such as massage, cold water foot bath and snacks, are very humanized. The 7-hour closure time of East Malaysia is also longer than that of ordinary marathon (6 hours). It is not difficult to participate in the Tokyo Marathon, and the probability of winning the lottery is less than 10%.
