The English name “Marathon of Dangers” implies that it would be more dangerous than similar events. The word “vaara” [va’ra] has however a double meaning in Finnish: it means either; 1) danger/hazard/risk, OR 2) ”a hill (especially in Eastern Finland)”. The other option, if we want to split hairs and to be 100% correct, is to translate the name of the event as “Marathon of hills”. But the version “Marathon of Dangers” is more dynamic and it fits websites easier.
