Liège-Rome-Liège (nicknamed The Road Marathon ) is a car race that was held from 1931 to 1960 , reserved for so-called tourism cars, in real International Championship of the big tourism at the time.
==History==
The race took place on an open road, an average distance of 3,500 km non-stop (sometimes more than 5,000 km as in 1959): departing Wednesday at 11 pm from [[Spa]], and returning to the same place on Sunday around 4 pm.
A Golden Cup was also sometimes awarded to three-year class winners such as [[Bill Bengry]].
From 1961 to 1964 , the course was modified to Liège-Sofia-Liège. Indeed, this reflected the desire of the organizer - the Royal Motor Union of Liège - to diversify the route.
From 1965 to 1971 , the [[Nürburgring]] race was held due to the refusal of some countries to cross their territory. The duration of the race was 82 hours to reach 96 hours in its last edition.<ref>Jean-Paul Delsaux, ''1931-1971 : Marathon de la route'', [[Éditions du Palmier]], 128 p.</ref>
A new edition " revival " of the race was planned for 2011 but was canceled.<ref></ref>.
Many renowned drivers participated such as [[Olivier Gendebien]], [[Willy Mairesse]], [[Lucien Bianchi]], or [[Jacky Ickx]].
