Stanley Marathon

The Stanley Marathon is a marathon race in Stanley, Falkland Islands.[1] It is the southernmost AIMS-certified marathon in the world.[2] Run annually since 2005, and internationally accredited since 2006,[3] it is considered difficult due to variable weather[4] and strong prevailing winds.[5]
