Runners taking part in various marathon events over the coming months – including the Gammon China Coast Marathon on December 13 and the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon on January 18 – have been out in full force on the streets of Hong Kong lately.
A marathon is not an endeavour one typically approaches lightly. For most, running a 42km (26-mile) race is the culmination of months or years of preparation that has conditioned both physique and resolve for the gruelling distance.
