Comments on: Europe’s 6 Best Running Events http://travel.spotcoolstuff.com/europe/fitness/best-running-event-marathon Reviews of cool destinations, hotels, restaurants, museums and travel gear with a WOW factor!

A bit of a correction on the Brussels entry though: The Brussels marathon/half marathon has never been held in April. It moves around a bit, but it has always been held sometime August-October (most years it's the first or second Sunday in October). Also, the marathon/half are by no means the main races in Brussels. The half marathon typically gets about 5,000 starters and the marathon 2,500-3,000. The 20k in May, by contrast, is capped at 30,000 bibs and sells out in a few hours every year. Nice post Renato.

I like the 10K distance a lot, I would suggest as well the Prom'Classic (www.promclassic.com) in January next year. For more ideas, check RunAbroad.com Erica,

So far the longest distance I've run is only about 10km, but it would be awesome to train for and take part in a marathon one day.
