Marathon and half marathon race weekend guides
Each guide follows one race weekend in the order it happens, from getting there and collecting your number to the course, the weather and getting home. Every fact comes from the organiser's own pages and one independent source, and each guide says which year's times it gives, so you can see what is still to be confirmed.
The series' own pages, European Marathon Classics and SuperHalfs, list their races in order and explain how the medal works.
Compare every race by date, race-morning temperatures and climb on one page.
