Have you ever wanted to run a Marathon naked??? Here is your chance.

If you are like me, after a while you are simply sick and tired of always running across the same pavement… seeing the same vistas, saluting the same people. Not only that, but in all likelihood, you have run every race your town has to offer… and if its anything like my neck of the woods, they most likely follow the same trail.

Well here are some good news, aside from using a Marathon as an excuse to visit a new city or locale… you can also use said excuse for some interesting, often fun and wacky fun.

Here is a List of the most outrages, toughest and weirdest races across the world.

1) Nepal - THE EVEREST MARATHON (November):
This race that’s starts at a height of 5184Mts and finishes in the Sherpa town of Namche Bazaar at 3446mts, is the world’s highest marathon and to some the most spectacular.

3. 3) Paulliac - MARATHON DU MEDOC (September): not a lot of running gets done in this event… which starts with a wine tasting at the starting line and finishes with a full blown festival at the end. The course in a criss-cross through wine country with over 22 Refreshment (variety of wines) and food (gourmet snacks: sushi, beef, oysters) Stands. The last 100mts are adorned with a red carpet… Dresses and eveningwear is a most.
