i have been running for 20 years and avoided a marathon for all that time. Always said I would do one, and only one, before it's too late and now need advice on which one to do.
as I'm notoriously a fair weather runner I'm much more inclined to an autumn marathon than a spring one and just wondered if anyone had any ideas. Also want it to be combined with travelling somewhere I haven't been before so anywhere in the world

I would recommend Florence, it's end of November but usually a comfortable 15 degrees so good marathon weather. Beautiful city and lots to see while running. Start/finish are central and you can stay in a hotel with a short stroll to the start and finish.
Frankfurt is also a very good marathon, but when I did it in 2018 it was quite chilly. But I'm going back this year as it's a great event, hotels close to start/finish and the most amazing finish. End of October.
Still if my training goes to plan I might chuck in a cheeky half or full marathon in this country beforehand - living close to the lovely Yorkshire countryside makes it easier.
