I'm not a marathon runner (I used to be a sprinter), but since no one else has answered yet...
I did a little quick research online, and found that there's an ailment called "runner's colitis". Your symptoms are very reminiscent of it, and of ischemic colitis. IBS is also a possibility, although of course, I'm not a doctor.
Here's a link that you may find useful:

You should certainly follow your doctor's instructions as soon as you can. I wish you the best of luck.
