I find it very hard to start training from scratch in Oct for Mumbai marathon. 

It would be better if I can keep a goal for a marathon in May and then another in September so that I can drag myself to train throughout the year. 

Any nice and scenic marathons or half marathons in these time periods? In India? Overseas? The course should be nice but not too different from Mumbai (eg Ladakh or Arctic Circle marathons are not exactly like Mumbai but Pune and Pahalgam Marathons would be similar).

Any suggestions?

Not sure about May but Airtel Hyderabad is a well supported / organised run by runners in Aug / Sep.If not then Satara Hill half is a perfect interlude. I did that and then Chennai this year in Dec after much trepidation as it is close to Mumbai (Dec 6th) but had a fantastic run in both places.

I would not recommend Pune for obvious reasons unless you are taking part in the Runners group organised events.

BTW there is a Mauritius Marathon mentioned by somebody as well :-)

cheers,

July you could consider Dream Runners HM at Chennai..well organised HM.
Sep you could consider KTM or Hyderabad too. Satara is also a good one.
PRBM is a very nice run too at Pune.

Think of Goa in Dec first week or Nasik in Dec last week as your timing / pace setting races...Both are HMs

Thanks, Venkat and Sujit. Keep the suggestions coming. 

The site is nice but it is mostly front loaded (lists races in the next 3 months).

Anything for May?
