Marathon Legend

Marathon Legend

Android Flagship Live

Train a scrappy street kid into a marathon champion.

Marathon Legend is an endurance-running sim where you build a runner from the ground up โ€” pace, stamina, and grit. Manage training, push through the wall, and chase the finish line across a pixel-art city at golden hour. Cloud saves keep your progress with you.

Dev log //

A training sim where the interesting problem is pacing rather than input: a season has to feel long enough to matter without becoming a chore. Store-prep stage, so the recent entries lean toward listing assets and release checks rather than mechanics.
