If you have run the Banemarathon in Denmark last July 29th, let me tell you that you have run the ultimate edition. There will not be a Banemarathon in 2008.
Don’t be too sad. If you still want to run a marathon in Kalundborg, the Kalundborg Summer Maraton will take place on July 13th.
Good luck to the Kalundborg Summer Maraton.
Until last year, the old duchy of Burgundy welcomed 3 marathons :
The marathon des grands crus de bourgogne in Dijon, Marathon des Blues Trotters and marathon du Charolais.
But 2006 was the 10th and final edition of the marathon des grands crus de Bourgorgne. For those interested, the domain name www.marathonbourgogne.org is now of sale.
The two surviving marathons follow a very specific theme.
The Marathon des Blues Trotters is a friendly race that follows during part of its course the gorgeous canal of Burgundy.
The marathon du Charolais celebrates the charolais cattle in the city of Gueugnon. Did you know that “Charolais” designated a breed of cattle but also a breed of sheep, a cheese and also a breed of chicken ?
Many delicious things to enjoy a post-marathon feast !
Due to the continuous falling number of participants since 2002, the Marathon de Normandie has been definitively terminated. 2006 was the last edition.
The competition is fierce in France, no less then 19 marathons take place in september and october.
For those of you who liked this marathon that ran across the Seine on the Normandie Bridge can still participate in the half marathon. It will be held on November 11th 2007.
Beyond the most famous marathons as New York, Chicago, Berlin or London, www.42k195.com lists a great number of marathons worldwide and allow you to select them on a map or using the next races schedule.
