Community marathons

Community marathons are organized events where groups of local residents come together to run long-distance races, typically 26.2 miles, within their community. These marathons promote health, foster community spirit, and often support charitable causes. They can be standalone events or part of larger festivals, encouraging participation from runners of all levels. The focus is on collective effort, local pride, and often raising awareness or funds for social initiatives, making it more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community collaboration and personal achievement.
