[edit] Race is called a marathon in Brazil

"Road race" gives the impression of an automobile race. Shouldn't this article's title be changed to "Saint Silvester marathon"? --Wloveral (talk) 19:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

• A marathon is 42.195 km long. The Saint Silvester (15 km) isn't even a half-marathon. Whoever calls it a marathon is incorrect. The term road race is correct, regardless of the kind of race. -- (Fbergo (talk) 00:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC))

OK. Glad to know. Thanks. --Wloveral (talk) 01:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
