Maratonit

Maratonit is a Finnish term that primarily refers to marathon running races. The most famous marathon in Finland is the Helsinki City Marathon, which is held annually in the capital city. These events attract both professional athletes and amateur runners from Finland and around the world. Participating in a marathon requires significant physical training and endurance. The standard marathon distance is 42.195 kilometers (26 miles and 385 yards). Beyond the athletic event itself, maratonit often foster a sense of community and promote healthy lifestyles. In a broader sense, the term can also be used metaphorically to describe any long-duration, demanding undertaking.
