Since 2021, Marathon Handbook has been the proud custodian of the archives of the iconic Marathon & Beyond magazine.
Marathon & Beyond was a print magazine in the U.S. which ran from 1997 to 2015, publishing a total of 114 issues in that time.
It was launched, led, and published throughout its entire run by the duo Richard Benyo and Jan Seeley (IRunFar did an awesome profile of them here, back in 2016).
Marathon & Beyond catered for a loyal readership of long-distance runners looking for quality, long-form writing: stuff that you wouldn’t find in other magazines because it was way too long, too in-depth, too “completely complete” as Bob Anderson, founder of Runner’s World used to call it, said Rich.
The magazine regularly published pieces from legends of the running world, including Katherine Switzer, Hal Higdon, and Amby Burfoot to name a few.
We’ve digitized the complete archive and made every article individually searchable and browsable. Grab a beverage, and explore the collection!
