Abbott major marathons - MM Club member status -

Here at Marathon Matters, we unabashedly celebrate running marathons and ultramarathons. Trail races, road races, fast running, slow running, lots and lots of marathons, or your first! Many of our members focus on the seven Abbott world major marathons - Tokyo, Boston, London, Sydney, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City, and this page is for that particular branch of marathon running - we are compiling a list of MM members who have run at least one of these majors.
