Not a Sprint

ANSWER: DIVING

Author: Charles Steinhardt

These are each along one of the routes for the six World Marathon Majors very near a mile marker. Putting them in the order of the Marathon Majors produces:

  • 飯田橋二丁目店 - Tokyo mile 4
  • 120 W Central St Natick - Boston mile 9
  • 20 The Highway, Whitechapel - London mile 22
  • Prinzenstraße 85 - Berlin mile 9
  • 1260 West Adams St - Chicago mile 14
  • 414 4th Ave - New York mile 7

Conveniently enough, there are 26 miles markers in a marathon. Converting to letters yields the answer, DIVING.
