Prague Marathon vs Vienna City Marathon
Central Europe's spring pair, three weeks and 300 km apart. Prague is a touch faster and prettier through Old Town, at the cost of early cobbles; Vienna offers wider roads and the earlier April date. Both are honest PR courses — pick by calendar fit and which city you'd rather spend the weekend in.
