Where should I line up when starting the marathon?

It really depends on what pace you're going to run. Most marathons have what they call pace corals. If you are going to run a sub seven minute pace ,which pushes you under three hours, you are going to be up front in the first couple of corals. Obviously if you are going to run a nine minute pace, you may be back around coral number four or five. So usually the corals are set by what your mile pace is going to be, so if you're going to be a ten minute mile you are probably going to be in corral number ten.
