1 We all know the legend of the first marathon: a man ran 42 kilometres from Marathon to Athens to bring news of the army’s victory. Nowadays, marathon races are popular with both amateurs and professionals who run for run, health or to raise money for charity. However, in Japan there’s a group of men in a religious community who make the world’s top marathon runners look like beginners.

5 The marathon monks give a new meaning to the words ‘brave’, ‘strong’ and ‘disciplined’. If they were to enter a marathon, they would beat most other runners. Luckily for international runners, they won’t be competing because they vow to stay on the mountain for twelve years. For the monks, the motivation is to test their belief, not to be a top athlete.
