Marathons

People go kind of nuts in the city during the summer and have a lot of energy and must therefore run marathons. This is as much a social event as a physical fitness test but mostly it's just fun. Just standing around and watching the runners is fun too, especially with a beer in one hand. We've listed some of the major summer marathons and also one in October, mostly because it's such a freaky event. For further information concerning other marathons follow the link below to the official homepage.
