Difficult since I can't find a Latin equivalent for 'a sprint'. It would go something like:
'Marathonium curriculum est nec [insert Latin for 'a sprint' here].'

Thanks for getting back.
I'm also having trouble finding the Latin word for sprint. I have found the word 'celer' meaning speedy/fast. Would the following sound right?
'Marathonium curriculum est nec celer curriculum'
