Celebration and parties with fun and social interaction was earlier an integral part of the community but more calm and moderate compared with today. Today it is more interesting with big mass events. How to make marathon events an exciting social interaction and the more participants the better. It is great to participate in the Bavarian beer week or the Carnival in Rio, big Running Events like London Marathon, etc. because there are many people and it is a great experience to be a part of so big a community!
The Marathon Events
Thousands of joggers and elite runners participate each year in Boston Marathon, New York Marathon, and London Marathon as in the image below or other mass events, where the main attraction seems to be that there are many people.
These events are often characterized by a large build-up and rapidly taking down events. You also see marathon races when new bridges open, where the subject seems to be: “experience the first and only time to run across the bridge.”
Storytelling, great websites keen on the individual races and entertainment that goes far beyond the athletic- or sports content, is also a part of it. Spectators will be active and involved emotionally.
Never mind that you seem to be anonymous among thousands of other runners, as long as you are participating in a large set-up drama that attracts media attention. Many people feel that they contribute to something special.
Marathon Races And Entertainment
New York Marathon is an example of one of the biggest City marathons, where running 42,195 km is not always enough. The participants run through many different neighborhoods that emerge with more than 100 bands, which expresses the ethnic neighborhood they are running through. There is everything from salsa to Scottish bagpipes as inspiration and entertainment for the runners.
More than a million spectators rejoicing and cheering along the route and as a non-runner, you can be registered as a volunteer if you want to be more involved. About half of the marathon field are runners from outside the U.S. and many show their national pride by wearing their country’s colors.
The Community Is a Big Part of Marathon Events
As you see you’ll be a part of a Community either as a participant or as a volunteer supporting where it’s necessary and runners share a bond that goes deep and they also support each other in running and many other aspects of their lives.
They have shared experiences particularly on social media, both good and bad, that allow them to connect on many levels. Many runners find that their running communities inspire and motivate them to continue running.
So, these big Marathon events also allow people to come together to help others, whether it’s encouraging one another to achieve personal health and athletic goals, raising money for different purposes or making a difference in their community. These large city marathons are not just races, but large entertainment events where the physical expression acclaims and celebrates.
Running events like these also gives quite ordinary people, who participate in the race, the opportunity to be celebrated directly by more than a million spectators and fans. It is something no other sport can offer.
Running with 50 000 other participants and sharing the experience it is to see, how people from different nations and cultures suddenly can cooperate and help each other to achieve a common goal, which can be an amazing experience for everyone.
TV Transmission of the Marathon Events
TV cameras follow particularly the leading runners and several helicopters cover the race from the air with TV, which gives a tremendous overview of the race’s development and scope. Television images transmit throughout the world, including the Eurosport channel, as most of Europe can see on cable TV.
Professional Photos and Products have been officially linked to the major marathon races as a permanent part of the event.
Photographers automatically take pictures of you along the course and at the finish line. You’ll be identified on your race number and shortly after the race, you will receive your personal pictures by mail as you can buy. In some way, this opportunity creates lifetime memories. The finisher medals are also proof that each finisher has done some extraordinary.
Various Big Marathon events
Marathon events today also include races such as The Great Wall Marathon in China. This race unfolds as a narrative tied to the mythological, historical, cultural and geographical characteristics.
Forest marathons and mountain marathons are relatively new too. The Marathon race in Germany in a limestone mine 700 m underground is also a special but attractive event.
Many non-runners motivates to run a marathon by visiting one of the great City marathons and experiencing it all from the sideline before they decide to start with a marathon training program themselves. If you are a person who likes marathons and travels, there are some big classic Marathon events around the world as great goals to go for…
Paris Marathon
Will usually be settled in early April. It has grown exponentially in the last few years and is now one of Europe’s most popular sporting events. Your running will start on one of the world’s most famous streets, Les Champs Elysées, before taking you on a truly spectacular journey through the City of Light e.g. Place de la Concorde and Eiffel Tower. This international city marathon attracts over 40,000 runners each year.
London Marathon Events
Together with New York Marathon the biggest Marathon event in the world. It’s a very desirable event and there is sharp preregistration before you can be a participant. London Marathon Events has postponed the 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon. London Marathon takes place on The last Sunday in April.
Berlin Marathon
This is the classic Marathon of them all. The route is mainly flat and the opportunity for setting a personal record is therefore very likely in particular this marathon race.
The event of the race is also special because the Germans are better than anyone else to organize these big events. Berlin Marathon is an annual recurring marathon run in Berlin at the end of September. The race is organized by the Berlin running club SC Charlottenburg.

I found your post very interesting as to all the different marathons that are run, world-wide. It must be great to feel a part of such a large gathering of people. I am sure to compete in those marathons, would take a lot of training to be able to go right to the finish line. It would be good on the body to be able to build up such endurance.
Thank you for the comment. Happy that you find the post interesting.
Build up the body with marathon training is like a light bulb – as metaphor. You go from a 30 watt light bulb in the start up to a 200 watt light bulb after completing the race.
This article is very interesting. I have learned more about marathons. For example, I didn’t know that London Marathon is the biggest in the world. I live in London and I am planning to attend it next year when the pandemic is over and things can get back to normal.
Many thanks,

It’s good to know that the London marathon has been re-scheduled on 4th October 2020, but the present COVID-19 scenario can’t confirm it at all. Though I hope all will be fine in the near future but it all depends on nature, unless a vaccine launches.
However, from your article, I learned several things, and of course, the relation between Marathon events and social interaction.
I absolutely agree, these big Marathon events also allow people to come together to help others, in fact, most of sports personalities do it. I am still waiting when all people in this world will learn this sporty lesson from the players, and grow up a more beautiful world.
Thanks for sharing.
