Had the choice of Salzburg or Prague - chose correctly Salzburg is a hidden gem of a destination - so much to see, so much to do :)

I'm doing Riga this time next year to clear the Baltic states, but Austria is somewhere I'm desperate to do. Although I'd also quite like to do Belarus while we're still in the EU and can therefore get visa-free entry.

[Belarus isn't in the EU: but I guess with an EU passport you don't need a visa?]

That's correct IT. Five days' visa-free entry with an EU/EEA/CH passport.

Belarus does not seem blessed with full marathons. Only one on Ahotu and for this one you register in Lithuania then hand over your passport and go over the border and run in Belarus and get your passport back when you finish. draugystesmaratonas.lt

I quite fancy that one, actually, although I'm not sure where I stand with the visa-free deal as that only applies to arrivals via Minsk.

Still, I could just go out there and run a 5k. It wouldn't be the first time.

Also, that's a point, I'd like to go back out to Cluj and actually run the marathon next time.

I've entered Lanzarote, and I've booked hotel and paid for flights.

Not sure yet if I'll run it, though.
