Marathons in Europe

The marathons on this page are the ones runners travel for: record courses, major city marathons and routes through vineyards and mountains, each with its date and the organiser's website. The year closes with Athens and Nice-Cannes in November and Valencia in December. February brings Seville, March Barcelona and Rome, and April is the month of the giants: Paris, London, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Vienna and Manchester. May adds Prague, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Edinburgh, summer the mountain marathons of Mont-Blanc and Zermatt and the Reykjavik Marathon, and September belongs to Berlin, the Médoc and Warsaw. October rounds off the season with Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Ljubljana, Budapest and Palma.
