Of course, The Everest Marathon will give you one-of-a-kind views of the biggest mountain on Earth. Race organizers require runners to take an entire 26-day vacation in Nepal in order to fully acclimate prior to attempting the marathon. The good news is that once you make it to the Everest base camp for the start of the race, it's basically downhill from there.
2 The Polar Circle Marathon, Greenland
No doubt about it, you'll have to gear up for this frigid but gorgeous trek across icy Greenland. The Polar Circle Marathon features glaciers and expanses of tundra that are unique, breathtaking and actually pretty dangerous. If you've got the guts to do it, you'll echo organizers in calling the race "the coolest marathon on earth!"

This marathon that traverses the famous Inca Trail on its way to Machu Picchu is a different kind of race. First of all, there is no "official" Inca Trail Marathon because the Inca Trail is a national park, so usually private companies form small groups of runners to complete the 26.2 mile trail rather than organizing a giant event. The benefit, of course, is that you get to enjoy spectacular views with fewer distractions.
4 Paris Marathon, France
If you've ever visited Paris, you know how badly your body needs exercise after carb-loading on crepes. The Paris Marathon is a gorgeous tour of the city's most spectacular sites, and the race is rumored to treat its runners right. Word has it that you can stop for drinks and a foot massage a little after the halfway mark.

9 Great Ocean Road Marathon, Australia

You don't have to globe-trot to find a marathon with amazing views. The Big Sur International Marathon will take you from Big Sur to Carmel along the rural Pacific Coast Highway. You'll wind your way through redwoods, ranches and jaw-dropping ravines prior to traipsing across the finish line.
