The Maya Marathon was truly an amazing experience. The course was awesome and pretty much flat. What makes this marathon stand out from the rest, is meeting people from around the world, becoming friends. It’s tailored for runners who want to experience not only a marathon, but the culture in a small group setting. I’m up for another Wild Marathon.
