Description

The World Marathon Book celebrates the runners who conquer the legendary 26.2 miles, and the races they take part in, detailing their illustrious histories and greatest moments. It explores both the famed city-based marathons like London, Paris and New York as well as the more adventurous races like the Marathon du Medoc - a must for anyone who prefers a glass of wine to than a Lucozade while racing - or the Great Wall Marathon in China for those who prefer a further challenge. With inspiring photography, fantastic personal stories and essential infographic elements, this is the book for anyone who has ever taken on, or wishes to take on, the 26.2 miles.
