Planning should be completed several months before
Those who have planned a marathon in September usually start marathon training in June. After all, it should be at least 12 weeks of targeted training for the supreme discipline of running. At the latest when training begins, the marathon you want to run should also be determined.
A lot of choice
In September, marathon runners are spoiled for choice. For example, the fastest marathon in the world is held every year in September. We are talking, of course, about the Berlin Marathon, which was responsible for numerous marathon world records in the 21st century.
There are also several marathons in the USA, such as the Big Sur Marathon, the Air Force Marathon and the Kauai Marathon.
The biggest mountain marathon in the world
In Austria, the Wachau Marathon is traditionally held in September. Those who are not after best times but want a great spectacle of nature can compete in the Innsbruck Alpine Trailrun Festival over the marathon distance. The Jungfrau Marathon, probably the largest mountain marathon in the world with over 5,000 participants, is also known worldwide.
