You have not heard of the Rim Rock Marathon?

2,000 feet vertical foot gain (starting from 4,700 ft, going up to 6,700 ft) and 2,100 feet vertical foot loss.

Anyone can run at sea level, sea level is for sissies!

@mithu – totally skipped my mind! If the list was “26 marathons everyone should run” (which would make more sense since this is a running website!) then NYC would be on there!

New York City marathon. I am surprised that it wasn’t mentioned.

Those are good additions. I’ll probably update this post to include more. It’s really hard to narrow it down to 25 because there are so many amazing races around the world to choose from!

For the non-US visitor to this site don’t forget London, Paris and Berlin. These are the big 3 european marathons and all of them are amazing with fantastic scenery and large enthusiastic crowds.
