This subject is not a valid source for writing our in-universe articles, and may only be referenced in behind the scenes sections or other invalid-tagged articles.

Part-"choose your own adventure" prose story and part-board game, The Universe Marathon was one of the features in Dicky Howett and Tim Quinn's The Doctor Who Fun Book. A multi-Doctor story featuring the first six incarnations of the Doctor, it featured cameos by several other notable elements of the Doctor Who universe, but, due to its non-linear nature, it is not considered a valid source on this Wiki.
