London
The Mumbai Marathon has been inspired by the London Marathon. Mumbai organisers Procam had actually gone to London seven years earlier as the Mumbai Marathon was going to debut in the city, to study how a marathon includes the Tower Bridge in its route.

Sydney
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel arch bridge across the harbour. In fact, the first impression of Australia to tourists is the bridge, harbour and nearby Sydney Opera House. The Sydney Marathon includes the bridge in its route.
New York
The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York. The bridge is named after Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazano, the first known European navigator to enter New York Harbour and the Hudson River. In fact, this symbol of the bustling, multi-cultural US city is the starting point for the world famous New York City Marathon.u00a0
Venice
The Venice marathon is naturally one of the most picturesque in the world. In the final part of the marathon route, the 42 km runners face 14 little bridges over Venice's canals.
