There are girl runners too. Wouldn't that be a natural hook up? I bet if there is any kind of marathon in your area, there are women involved in working on it.

Marathons originated with the battle of Marathon.  After the Greek victory, Pheidepides(?) ran 26.3 miles to tell of the victory.  He screamed: "Nike!Nike!" and then died from exhaustion.  *Nike is victory in greek.

I have done 2 marathons and many other races. Detroit has pretty cool marathon medals but there are many out there. They are all cool. I ran a half in nashvile and it was in the shape of a note. I ran a half in HELL michigan and it was a skull..... lots of medals out there but I guess it really isnt the medal that is important its the accomplishment that you did to get the medal.

The oldest races in the world are in Great Britain (The St Leger is the worlds oldest Classic) - after all horse racing started here.\n\nThere are great races across the globe, far too many to mention.  The top 10 would have to be: The Grand National (GB), The Derby (GB), 2,000 & 1,000 Guineas, The Oaks, The KY Derby, The Melbourne Cup, The Dubai World Cup, The Arlington Million & Cheltenham Gold Cup.

I think more and more people will watch it each year. According to an independent study, the number of people watching the Olympics has grown over the last fifteen years.
