I've done a marathon with no training once...it was a very miserable experience, and unsurprisingly my worst time ever.
In general, training is good, the more you can get in, the better, especially for beginners. Unless you're starting out with extremely good overall fitness, it will take a while to get to the point where you can finish a marathon without too much pain ir risk of injury.
