More than a thousand thousand words
As in previous years, Canon is sponsoring what they call a photomarathon in south east Asia, this time in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, both in Vietnam. Hanoi is set for the 11th of September, HCMC for the 18th.
It’s only three themes, so Canon actually calling these events photomarathons is rather cheeky. On the other hand, they tend to make quite the happenings out of it.

Zagreb is hosting the third Croatian photomarathon on September 11. More info here (in Croatian).

And, just around the corner, on August 29, the Haugaland Fotoclubb is organizing what they call a photomarathon in Haugesund, Norway. More info here (in Norwegian).
They only give participants five themes, though, so it’s only barely a marathon, if at all.
The lovely city of Nice is doing a 12 hour, 12 themes, 12 photos photomarathon on the 25th of September. More info here (in French).
One of the Oslo photomarathon organizers, Terje Abusdal, who seems to be a wicked photographer himself, alerted me to the 12 hour photomarathon he’s organizing in Oslo on August 21.
Any camera is allowed and the event will feature 12 themes.
More info here (in Norwegian and English).

Tif-q is also organizing what they call a photomarathon in Quito (Ecuador), but not disclosing how many photos and/or themes they require. It will start on the 12th of June and lasts 24 hours, so whatever the amount of themes, this seems to be a fairly proper photomarathon.

Also on the 5th of June, Fontenay-sous-bois, close to downtown Paris, is organizing an event they also call a photomarathon. They require three series of photos, where for each series you get 45 minutes. It will probably be interesting. More info here (in French).
Furthermore, Zagreb is lyrical about their upcoming photomarathon in September.
