Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Thomas Pfann

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Congratulations! I have never seen a ProZ question with so little context. Not even a please or thank you.
Hans Geluk Jul 13, 2014:
Actually... that is a lot of context. The fact that it is on a table of events to be organised helps to understand it much better. Unless your commissioner can explain what it is about, go for Wilsonn's suggestion.
marilors (asker) Jul 13, 2014:
When I have a context, I always submit it. I think the context will not help because it's in a table (organización de los siguientes eventos:......) and only mentioned once. Thank you all for your contributions.
Noni Gilbert Riley Jul 13, 2014:
Context: an example https://es-es.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.138605832839865....

Having access to more than just the words "maratón turístico" in this example gives us a lot of information. It confirms that we're not talking about package tours (that might seem obvious, but it's always good to confirm) and that the aim is to attract runners who will travel across the country to the event, and enjoy their visit from a cultural point of view too, perhaps because the route is fixed to go past important buildings / good views, and there may be special offers for accommodation.

Anyway, I don't think we need to go very far for our answer:

" the growing tourist marathon market." http://pace.marathon-photos.com/october2012/11-12
Noni Gilbert Riley Jul 13, 2014:
How do you know the sentence will not help? If you have not been able to come up with a satisfactory translation, perhaps there is something in the sentence that you are missing. Agreed, it may seem unlikely, but at least show your fellow translators, who may be going to help you, the respect they deserve and provide then with all the context you have available.
marilors (asker) Jul 13, 2014:
The sentence will not help, it's about the organization of a number of events among which the marathon. It is only mentioned once.
Charles Davis Jul 13, 2014:
Context Please give at least the sentence in which the term occurs (and preferably a bit more than that) and some information about the text.
Neil Ashby Jul 13, 2014:
At least a little bit of effort would go a long way.....you haven't exactly supplied 42 km of context. Or a 'please', etc.....

tourist marathon

Despite being a “tourist-marathon” of sorts, the route of the Great Wall Marathon is extremely difficult. In the first 9kms, athletes will have climbed onto the Great Wall of China, running through extremely steep climbs and descents of about 10% gradient.

neutral Charles Davis : Who knows? This could be suitable, or something else could be better. It's impossible to tell.
