Which marathon has the highest prize money?
While amateur runners enjoy the ambience at big city marathons in the hunt for personal best times, top international athletes fight not only for the top places but also for important prize money.
After all, the prize money at marathons is vital, especially for the numerous world-class runners from Africa. For them, the city marathons are not about the atmosphere along the course or the sights, but about the fight against the clock and the competition.
