Terms of Use

Using this site

By browsing or using Marathon Focus, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or its content.

If you quote or reuse our content

A lot of research goes into the marathon information on Marathon Focus. We check official race sources, verify details, and write them up in a consistent way for runners. The underlying facts — course details, dates, entry requirements, and so on — belong to the race organisers.

The descriptions, course profiles, key facts, edition dates, FAQs, and other written content we publish are protected by copyright. If you use, quote, summarise, or reproduce any of it — on another website, in an app, on social media, in a newsletter, dataset, or anywhere else — please credit us clearly.

Good attribution includes:

• Our name, Marathon Focus
• A link to https://www.marathonfocus.com or, better still, the specific page you took the information from
• Placement near the reused content so readers can see where it came from

Example: “Source: Marathon Focus” or “Course information from Marathon Focus.”

This applies whether you use a short excerpt or a large portion. Automated scraping, bulk republication, or use in competing databases without permission and proper credit is not allowed.

What you can do

You are welcome to browse for personal marathon planning and share links to our pages. You may quote brief excerpts for commentary, review, or news reporting if you follow the attribution guidance above.

Commercial reuse, redistributing our database, or building our content into another product needs our written permission in addition to attribution.

Race info changes — please double-check

Marathon details, dates, and course information are here to help you plan. Races change. Always confirm entry requirements, dates, and course details on each event's official website before you book travel or register.

Marathon Focus is not affiliated with race organisers unless we say so explicitly. “World Marathon Major” is a trademark of Abbott World Marathon Majors. Race names and logos belong to their respective owners.

Content we do not own

Embedded YouTube videos, external links, and city photographs belong to their respective owners and are subject to their terms and licences. The attribution rules on this page apply to original content created and published by Marathon Focus.

When we update this page

We may change these terms from time to time. If you keep using the site after we post changes, that means you accept the updated version. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when we last revised it.
