【Travel Fun Fact】Hit the Road Running: A Selection of America’s Top Three Marathon Events

Text by: E Cat

In recent years, many people have enjoyed traveling by running marathons, as they can explore foreign landscapes while engaging in the sport. This fall and winter, the most eye-catching events are undoubtedly the three major marathons hosted in the "birthplace of marathons" — the United States: the "New York Marathon," the "Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Marathon," and the "Honolulu Marathon." Some events this year will expand in scale, adding different courses to challenge participants' physical strength and endurance, along with exciting themed packages — a must for marathon enthusiasts.

1) New York Marathon

The Brooklyn Bridge, one of New York’s most iconic landmarks, will soon transform into part of the marathon route in November.

The New York Marathon is second only in fame to the Boston Marathon, having originated in 1970 and ranking among the World Marathon Majors. The course runs through all five boroughs of New York City, taking runners past symbolic landmarks of the "Big Apple," such as the Brooklyn Bridge, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan. It’s the perfect choice for experiencing the vibrant side of New York.
