Marathon Statistics - 100 Marathon Club

Marathon Stats

I picked up the following information from an article in the American running magazine 'Running Times'.

The table below shows a list of the longest running marathons, and when they were last run. I have an outstanding query on the ‘Polytechnic', and have suggested to the keepers of the list that the ‘Isle of Wight' has now progressed to 46.

The USA leads the way with 15 in the list, then comes Japan and the UK with 4 each.

I've only done 4 of them, and have to admit that I even fail on 2 of the UK ones (Sheffield & Belfast). Can you do better?

To find a fuller list and lots more statistics, go to www.mattoleriver.com/LongRunM.htm **- this link doesn't work - Roger 17Nov12

(Just knock the address down to the ‘.com', and you will find a lot more statistics.
