"Five of the world's leading marathons - New York City, Boston, Chicago, London and Berlin - have created a series that will pay each year's winning man and winning woman $500,000 each."
"Each series race will be worth 25 points for first place, 15 for second, 10 for third, 5 for fourth and 1 for fifth. The runners can compete in as many of the races as they want, but only their four best performances over two years will count."
