WTF - None of these are marathons. A marathon is 26.2 miles. These are mostly gimmick races that aren't even timed events. Not that they aren't fun, but perhaps you could actually get the terminology right. It's called research.— amberx0578- A marathon is 26.2 miles. These are nowhere close to that....even a blog writer should be able to research the difference.— amberx0578
- The strangest thing about these "marathons" is their length. Would it be too much to ask you at least to change the headline? You look like a bunch of ignorant yahoos.— mcmannusss
