Marathon can surely damage the City Wall, I believbe. But Marathon around the City Wall will be a good idea. Just think: running around the ancient City Wall, feeling the aura of this ancient city, take time to cross every gate possible. That will be a quite enjoyable thing. The Wooden Pagoda in Yingxian, Shanxi is a perfect example for the damage. Maybe sometimes, our ancient civilization can not overload the modern technology.

Couldn't run for sure - too boring, cannot talk whilst running ! I like sports where there are direct opponents - eg table tennis, badminton, soccer, golf, etc. More of a social sportsmen. Btw, Nov - won't it be too cold to run in the open ?
