<\/a>George Town, is a remarkable colonial town that was historically a trading port linking the East and West. It demonstrates a multi-cultural living heritage originating from the trade routes from Great Britain and Europe through the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent and the Malay Archipelago to China.<\/p>\nThe city of Penang, which George Town is now part of, hosts an AIMS certified marathon in mid november. Held regularly since 1985, the route comprises the third longest bridge in the world – The Penang Bridge. This is the only time of the year when this bridge is closed and the location affords a panoramic view of the “Pearl of the Orient”. The 2am start time of the marathon is a wee bit early though.

<\/a>Luang Prabang represents the success of the fusion of traditional architectural and urban structures with those of European colonial leaders of the 19th and 20th centuries. With royal and aristocratic residences, Buddhist monasteries constitute the essential element of the historic city.
\nStarted only in 2013, the race route for the Luang Prabang Half Marathon is a 7k circuit around the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Luang Prabang, running past many of the town’s most famous and beautiful land-marks. The route is essentially flat, with a couple of very minor ascents.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.luangprabanghalfmarathon.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nIlocos Sur Marathon – Vigan<\/a>, Philippines<\/a><\/h3>\nVigan, established in the 16th century, is the best-preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia.<\/p>\n
