This is how focused and passionate is the race is on the Marathon including the participants and the course organizers. I will sound awful here but the 5k, 10k, Half and other events are generally a distraction from the race. A true Marathon even should have one event in one day. I may change my opinion but even races on the day prior take from the overall experience [5]
