Can You Guess The Marathon From These Marathon Course Maps?

How well do you know different marathons around the world? Can you look at a map of a course and tell us what the marathon is?

Well here’s your chance to find out how well you know marathons! Below we’ve got course maps of marathons from around the world.

Some of them are Marathon Majors and others are popular big city marathons. Some of these routes are iconic, others will have personal significance to you if you’ve run them, some will just look like a strange line on a colourful square (and some are shown with a slightly different angle to what you usually see!), but can you identify marathon courses without landmarks like rivers to help you?

Name these marathons based on their course profile! Answers are below.
