I must offer one small correction; “marathon” is not simply another word for a running event, it is reserved for a long distance running event with a specific distance, namely 42.195 kms, or 26 miles 385 yards (usually expressed as 26.2 miles), no more and no less. The Guelph events you named don’t exceed 10 km in distance. Hi Greg – I enjoyed your article and agree with the sentiment.
