Cool. I learned a new word. Not one I'll use very often, but still, my horizons
continue to expand.

i too used to prefer trail marathons, as opposed to road marathons, when
i used to do half and full a few years back. the annual marathon in my
city usually attracts just about 15,000 runners. definitely not on the
scales you mention.
after i started randonneuring in 2013 i haven't done any. just no
time to do justice to both running and cycling. since i have started
training for a 1200-km brevet in september-end i have just rebooted my
running, as part of cross-training. it's tough after all these years...
Alan, a couple friends did the comrades last year i think...

I did the Melbourne Half a few years back which had several tens of
thousands of runners. Too many for my liking, it was pandemonium at
the drinks stations. It was quite cool to see wall-to-wall runners
as far as I could see both in front and behind me.
I'm more fond of smaller races on interesting courses (especially
off-road). Not that I'm anywhere near that kind of shape at the
moment.
Cheers,

You and Mark should come over for the Great North Run in October.
It's "only" a half marathon but had over 60,000 entries last year.

Perhaps a bit overdone but it dramatically makes the point. I've
run a few of those (races, that is) - total madness.

Here's my impression of this year's Boston Marathon - cold,
pouring rain and brutal headwinds. One of the most miserable
runnings of the Boston Marathon ever.

It's seven exposures. Not HDR, but combined in Photoshop using the
"mean" function in Statistics.
