• At 1088 characters, the article is not long enough. sst^flyer 08:12, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

• @SSTflyer: Ok, I will add to article, how long it should be? 500 more characters are enough??--Human3015^TALK  08:25, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

• The minimum is 1500 characters of prose. sst^flyer 08:27, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

@SSTflyer: Hi, I have added some content in the article, what is your opinion now? I have added tables of "winners" though they may not counted in "prose" but it was important to add. But still I think article fulfills criteria of 1500 characters and I think it is well written, no copyright violations, well sourced, it is about nice initiative of Marathon and health. --Human3015^TALK  11:37, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

The article is now long enough, but needs copyediting for grammar. sst^flyer 11:40, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

• I've copyedited it. Hope that helps. Interesting to know about the highest marathon in the world! Jointed.owl (talk) 15:08, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much Jointed.owl for your copy-editing. It is really nice work by you. @SSTflyer: any more issues? --Human3015^TALK  15:37, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

• Hook rearranged for clarity and brevity. No need to link India, as it is a common word. Edwardx (talk) 20:23, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Edwardx. Its really looking nice now. --Human3015^TALK  20:31, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
