BUCKET LIST RACES | Ep 2 | Best Marathons in the World | Run4Adventure

So what's on your race bucket list? In this short series we take a look at some of my bucket list races from around the world! These are races that if time, entry and money weren't an issue I'd be out there running them in a heart beat. With all the crazy things going on in the world today and with pretty much every race being cancelled, I thought this would be the perfect time to film this short bucket list race series and hopefully it will get you fired up to race again in the future. So start thinking about your bucket list races so you can train hard for when racing is back on the calendar! In this episode we look at the marathon distance and feature some of the biggest, the steepest and the coldest marathons on the planet.

    I just ran the causeway coast and man what a race, amazing scenery from begining to end over boulders, gates, beaches, massive cliff face step climbs and not stop up and down hills. I really must race folks. I did sun 3 in Belfast this year and this was far harder.

    Another great video with some top race ideas. I've been fortunate enough to run London twice off Championship entries and I know it has it's critics but it is a fantastic event. NYC would be up their for me on my list, having run Boston in 2013 (yes, THAT year) the Americans sure know support a race. One definitely on my list would be the K43 race at Swissalpine, Davos, looks stunning.

Yes, I ran Boston 2013, an experience I'll never forget, for good reasons, such as the race itself being an amazing experience, and the bad. My wife, sister and brother-in-law were supporting but thankfully I'd finished and we were back at our hotel by the time the bombings happened.

Both years I had a bit of altitude sickness (came from sea level in Kansas) ... it slowed me down some, and kept me from attempting the descent both times. When I go back though, I will acclimate for several days before the event, and definitely NOT attempt the descent. :) The plan now is to go back in 2024, the 45th anniversary of my first one!

    As a longtime trail runner enthusiast i've always found Matt Carpenter's Pikes Peak record a bit "questionable". 20+ minutes quicker than his second best over such a short distance ? And he never managed to come nowhere near it. what did he have for breakfast that morning ? Makes me wonder
