It is reported that the six major events in the 2021 World Marathon Grand Slam this year are: Berlin Marathon on September 26; London Marathon on October 3; Chicago Marathon on October 10; Boston Marathon on October 11; Tokyo Marathon on October 17; New York Marathon on November

It is reported that the six major events in the 2021 World Marathon Grand Slam this year's competition dates are:

September 26 Berlin Marathon;

October 3 London Marathon;

October 10 Chicago Marathon;

October 11 Boston Marathon;

October 17 Tokyo Marathon;

November 7 New York Marathon.

The "Six Majors" have all been squeezed into the second half of the year, and they are concentrated in more than a month. Zhima and Boma are actually "back-to-back". Obviously, this is all dispatched by the epidemic. No matter how awesome the Grand Slam event is, it is not as good as the epidemic.

The "six majors" are all placed around October. In fact, what I bet is an expectation: October will be the best season for epidemic prevention and control. The temperature conditions are the best, the hot season has just passed, and the cold season will be in the future, even if the epidemic rebounds, it will not be too late to run rampant; human prevention and control measures will be more powerful at that time. As I saw, I am afraid this first half of the year will not work. So, it is reasonable to move backwards.

Actually, there are political issues. Half of the "Six Majors" are in the most worrying United States. Although the "King of Understanding" who understands epidemic prevention best continues, will the United States' epidemic prevention improve? not necessarily. If it is difficult to return, no one can do anything.

Another thing that makes people worried is the UK. When the epidemic is serious, Britain wishes to be sealed. It is of course the best if the UK can be immune to the whole country in the second half of the year. But, can it?

Regarding epidemic prevention, the most hope for vaccines is. With a vaccine, people can be immune to the whole country. This is the only hope this year. But even if a country is immune, its effect is limited; people in the world need to move, for example, people from all countries will go to the UK to participate in the London Marathon. But the universal immunity of the whole world is by no means possible this year. The strict restrictions on personnel flow are the biggest barrier to personnel flow between countries this year.

barriers are necessary, if they can be completed, the "Six Majors".

Runners who intend to complete the "Six Majors" within one year are really an opportunity this year. Time is concentrated, and there is no need to compete and fly, which greatly saves travel costs.

The one that requires high physical fitness for runners is the "back-to-back" Tokyo Marathon. But runners whose abilities are not inferior to me should be able to accomplish them.

There is one possibility that it is not good for amateur runners, that is, if a competition is held as an elite race, amateur runners will not have the chance to participate.

Another thing is that it is difficult to guarantee the qualification for participation, such as the draw ratio is too low. Of course, you can buy charity places, and you are still expected to get it.

The most basic premise is two: having leisure + having money.

I have free time, two are missing one. Runners like me, don’t think about running the “Grand Six” within a year. It's more realistic to choose one of the most recent Tokyo Marathons.
