Introduction

Marathons are long-distance races that require a great deal of preparation and dedication. Nowadays, there are different types of marathons, from traditional ones to ultra-distance ones. Information about marathons is extensive and can be found on specialized websites, such as those offering online registration and payment features. It is important to consider privacy and security of personal data when registering, as it requires providing information such as ID and date of birth.

Types of marathons

There are several types of marathons, each with its own characteristics and challenges. Some of the most popular are city marathons, which take place in large cities like Buenos Aires, Argentina. Other types of marathons include mountain, trail, and ultra-distance. Employees of organizing companies work hard to ensure that participants have a safe and enjoyable experience. The goal for many runners is to complete a marathon in a set time, which requires a great deal of training and dedication.
