How can it be considered a 'Marathon' if it's not 26 miles?

A 5k or a 10k are most definitely not marathons.
As a runner its a little annoying to see the word 'marathon' categorize any running event.
Anyways, that race swag looks pretty cool; I would love to see anime themed runs around where I live.

To be fair though, the term "marathon" is not found on the event's official site. The wording is closer to "road run".
