I would say marathon running is one of the hardest ways to out-exercise a bad diet. It takes forever to recuperate after a run and you need to 'binge' before the run so you have the energy. Just forms a bad cycle, especially with getting the runner's appetite after a run (runger...).
At least biking, rowing, and other lower impact cardio can allow you to continuously exercise day-in and day-out. Point stands though, if you're looking at weight loss, work on calories first.

Seasoned runners reading this will likely shake their heads in agreement when I say that many, many runners are surprised to find that a marathon-training program involving months and months of high mileage and intense workouts won't necessarily lead to weight loss. On the contrary. For some runners it actually leads to weight gain.
