5 of the best overseas marathons

Great Wall Marathon, China

If you’re a thrill seeker with a penchant for crazy challenges, then look no further than the Great Wall Marathon in China. It’s a hard enough task running a marathon distance, let alone running a marathon along one of the greatest and most recognisable monuments on earth. Since it began in 1999, the Great Wall Marathon has become a sellout event, with 2,500 runners from over 60 countries taking part every year. You can join in the 8.5K fun run, the half marathon or go the full distance with the marathon.
