The first thing I'd say is that if you want to consider running a marathon, ask your doctor first. It's likely he/she will say you can do it, but especially at your age, it's best to be careful.

Ed's right, it is a big time commitment. However, there's nothing that says you can't do it in high school. Think about why you want to do it and what other things you could do instead. If running a marathon is at the top of the list, I say go for it.
