Welcome! This blog gives a summary of each marathon with finish time/place, course info, conditions, and links to performance data and travel photos. There are also separate pages listing marathons in different countries/continents, states, and Canadian provinces as well as general info about my running background, frequently asked questions, and advice for anyone looking to start running or exercising more. This blog is linked on my Facebook page, but I'm very rarely on social media otherwise.
3:52 finish, 2029/7397 place overall.
Large urban race through scenic areas of Budapest, much of it along the Danube riverfront on both sides. It runs over the famous Szechenyi Chain Bridge, past the Hungarian Parliament Building, Buda Castle, and other city landmarks. Typical big city race atmosphere with good support and organization.
Aside from the several bridge crossings, it’s very flat and the weather was ideal. Okay finish time within my usual range.
