This coming Sunday, author and blogger, Dan Clements will be running the Niagara Falls International half-marathon for Train for Humanity, which is considered one of the fastest half marathons in  Canada (Mainly because it’s really flat (read: easier). It finishes above the falls, where you can watch some 750,000 US gallons of water per SECOND pass over the edge. It’s quite a sight.

Interestingly, the Niagara Falls International Marathon really is “international”. It’s the only marathon in the world that starts in one country and finishes in another. The race starts in the United States, and ends in Canada, which means that all runners of the full marathon need to clear Canadian Customs & Immigration before receiving their bib number.

The course has hosted two USA men’s Olympic marathon trials in 1980 and again in 1984, along with the World Veteran’s Games marathon in 1995. It’s also a Boston Qualifier.
