The six major marathons are known as the World Marathon Majors and are some of the most prestigious and sought-after marathons in the world. These marathons are:

1. Tokyo Marathon
2. Boston Marathon
3. London Marathon
4. Berlin Marathon
5. Chicago Marathon
6. New York City Marathon

These marathons are recognized as the most high-profile on the calendar and are organized annually in their respective cities. The Abbott World Marathon Majors is a series consisting of these six marathons, and the organizers of these events are united in their effort to advance the sport, raise awareness of its elite athletes, and increase the level of interest in competitive marathon racing among running enthusiasts. Many runners dream of taking part in just one Marathon Major, but some of the more ambitious don’t just want one finisher’s medal, they want all six. Doing so puts you into an exclusive club and earns you a Six Star Medal.
