Each year, many cities around the world host marathons. Listed below are some of the major marathons taking place in 2012.
The Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati
A fun and good-natured event where costumes and puns abound, the 14th annual Flying Pig Marathon will be held in Cincinnati in early May. More than 200 charities raise funds at the Flying Pig in a variety of ways, from volunteers at water stops to pledge drives for distance. The 2011 event reached $10 million in total donations. This event also welcomes walkers for the marathon, encouraging a pace of 16 minutes per mile for walkers.
The Wipro San Francisco Marathon
In late July, runners will take to the streets of the City by the Bay to run a loop course that starts and ends at the Embarcadero. The route takes participants across the Golden Gate Bridge twice. A qualifying event for the Boston Marathon, the San Francisco event requires participants to finish within six hours. This means they must run at a 13:45 pace per mile at the slowest.
