I am new to the Marathon thing and am about to undertake an 18 week training programme which should see me fit to run a marathon in the middle of May. I live in the Arabian Gulf and need to come to Europe for the Marathon.

What I need is advice on the best marathon to take part in. I have heard about a couple in Italy, Prague and Poland. (all mid May) Mid may is really the only time I could participate as it gets far too hot in this part of the world to train at any date later than then.. Before this date i won't be ready..

I have heard good things about the Prague one but any more points of view on that one or any others would be much appreciated..

Regards

Simon

I can't help you much other than to say that you might want to search around at marathonguide.com:

and enter the countries you're interested in. You'll see various people's feedback on marathons all over.

Hi! I'm new on this forum. I'm looking for information about European Marathons. I'm interested in especially Cracovia Maraton, which is held in Poland on 26th of April. I don't have much time left and I haven't bought a ticket yet, because I'm not sure about this Marathon.
Could you give me some advice or recommend other Marathon which is held in Europe (April or May)??
