Gielinor Games/Marathon

Marathon
The Marathon is an event available during the 2012 Gielinor Games, released on 24 July 2012. It is set all around Gielinor. The aim is to run through all of the checkpoints and complete the course as quickly as possible. The Marathon does not run all the time on all worlds, but it is announced through the in-game chat box on all servers. There are currently 3 known Marathon courses.

Many players expressed confusion about the Marathon, expecting Jagex Moderators to host the event. In actuality, the event commences itself without any action by Jagex Moderators.

Trivia

 * Since the marathon tracks checkpoints, direct running/walking is not strictly required. Teleportation can be used to speed up legs.
 * The marathon checkpoints stay for a long time and as such, one may participate in the same event more than once.
