History of Albatros Adventure Marathons, Organizers of The Big Five Marathon

It all began with in 1998 with a crazy idea to run a marathon on the Great Wall of China. In 1999, this idea became a reality with the running of the first Great Wall Marathon. The initial success of this "adventure marathon" concept led to the creation of a new organizing authority, Albatros Adventure Marathons, which set out to unite international runners through challenges hosted in locations of exceptional natural beauty and historical significance.

Today, The Big Five Marathon is just one in a series of annual and internationally-recognized, running travel events that Albatros Adventure Marathons organizes around the world. 

The Big Five Marathon is also one of the most popular and sells out every year within days of registration opening.
