Terms of use
Content last updated
These terms cover your use of Global Marathon Routes. They are deliberately short: this is an independent reference site, and the main thing to understand is that the race information here is a starting point, not the final word.
Information, not advice
The course guides, records, dates and tools on this site are published for general information. They are not training, medical, travel or race-entry advice, and they do not replace the official race documentation.
Accuracy and estimates
Race facts change with every edition, and the maps here are indicative: course traces follow the organizers' published courses, simplified for the screen, and aid station positions are modelled. Always confirm start times, cut-offs, entry rules and course details with the race organizer before you travel or race.
Calculators
The pace calculator, the split table and the finish-time predictor produce estimates from standard formulas. They cannot know the course, the weather or how you feel on the day, so treat the results as a planning aid.
Content and attribution
The written guides, the page design and the code are ours. Race names and marks belong to their organizers: New York City, Boston, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo and Sydney are described here for reference, and this site is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them or by the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Map data is © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Liability
The site is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for decisions taken, or losses incurred, in reliance on anything published here.
