These lists provide a glimpse into the
world of global road-racing activity. They
focus primarily on the half-marathon and
marathon, as these represent the primary
event membership within AIMS. The lists
are updated periodically based upon
availability of results. Amendments,
corrections, and additions are always
welcome; there is no such thing as a
“perfect” or “complete” list, as
accumulation of new information
continually provides new perspective.
