In Call of Duty Mobile, you can play not only to unlock various weapon skins and climb higher in the rankings but also to earn achievements. The game offers a variety of achievements, including those for kills and unlocking unique weapons. In this article, we'll talk about one of the medals that is a bit unusual—the Marathon Medal.

Conditions for Earning the Medal

To earn this medal, you need to cover a distance of 2,000 meters or 1.2 miles in all modes except Warfare Mode. Not too much, but not too little either, right? However, you will have to cover this distance on foot, not by vehicle, which can be quite challenging, especially if you're playing for the results rather than for the achievement itself. Not so easy now, is it? Don’t worry, in this article, we’ll tell you what you can do to make earning this medal easier.

How to Get the Medal

To add such an unusual reward to your collection, you’ll need to set aside your main rule—playing for rank and KDA. Now, your goal isn’t to take down enemies, but to run as far as possible before the map starts to shrink. We recommend landing not in a hot zone, but in some remote, abandoned area where players usually don’t show up.

As you search for items, prioritize collecting grenades and anything else that might help if you get spotted. These will be very useful in earning the achievement, so try to stock up on as many helpful items as you can.

Run in circles, back and forth—basically, do whatever you like—just stay away from the sound of gunfire. You're now playing "Call of Duty: Marathon Simulator", not a military multiplayer shooter! As strange and funny as that may sound, multitasking simply won’t cut it here.

Before the real run, we also recommend doing some training and learning the terrain. Try out different routes and pick the one that’s most optimal for you. Always keep an escape route in mind. Choosing the right location on the map plays a huge role in earning this achievement, so it’s better to check everything in advance than to deal with unexpected problems later.

Chances are, you’ll still have to dodge bullets and face off against other players, but wouldn’t it be better to make those encounters as painless as possible? For this achievement, we also recommend teaming up with a friend—they can cover you while you focus on your long-distance marathon through the COD Mobile wilderness.

Why Go for the Medal

The Marathon Medal isn’t just some shiny token—it’s a truly prestigious reward. It’s sought after by both newcomers and seasoned players who just can’t seem to muster the effort to achieve it. It’s a genuine testament to a player’s dedication, their ability to overcome challenges and obstacles, as well as their versatility, adaptability, and skill.

It’s a coveted yet time-consuming achievement that demands patience and strength to see it through to the end without giving up halfway. We hope you enjoyed our article and learned something new.
