Whether you're a seasoned runner looking for something a little
different this year, or trying to find the motivation for your first
ever marathon, these five unusual marathons should help get you running
in 2019.
If you like to train hard as well as play hard, then the Marathon du
Medoc might be for you. As well as ticking a marathon off your bucket
list you'll also get to enjoy the 26.2 miles with a glass of wine in
hand, thanks to the many points along the circuits handing out glasses
of French wine.
Takes place September 7, 2019. Registration opens in March.
Running in the African Savannah is the chance of a lifetime, although
the location is as challenging as it is impressive. But, with the
chance to run with zebras, giraffes, antelopes and even lions, and enjoy
a mini holiday after your marathon is done, the training will all be
worth it.
Takes place June 22, 2019. Registration open now.

If you want to take in three countries with just one run, then try
the 3 Laender, or 3 Country Marathon. Runners will start on Lindau
Island, Germany, pass through Austria and Switzerland before heading
back to Austria to finish at Casino Stadium in Bregenz. The route also
provides a beautiful backdrop plus a flat ground for those who might be
aiming for a personal best.

Great Wall Marathon, China
Those looking for a real challenge can not only run a marathon, but run it alongside one of the most famous monuments in the world.
