I was there two years ago when the marathon was running, and it was very cool to see all the particpants arrive in the days leading up to it! Afterwards was interesting, too. Tons of people in wheelchairs and on crutches.

I've never run in a race before, so I'm hoping I don't injure myself training to do so!
