The 35,000 athletes facing the 42km, will get involved Marathon out over 100 nations in the adventure. The attractive starting target area between Brandenburger gate, realm day and victory column lies in the middle in the heart of the capital and offers a outstanding service. The runners do not only get goose skin when going through the Brandenburger of gate briefly before the goal. Are at least compensated for their blistered feet with a cultural journey taking in the Victory Column, Unter den Linden, the Humboldt University, the State Opera, the New Guardhouse, Berlin Cathedral, the Castle Bridge, the former Palace of the Republic, the Marienkirche, the Television Tower, Schöneberg Town Hall with the Liberty Bell, Schlossstrasse in Steglitz, the Botanical Garden and Potsdamer Platz, with the finish line after the Brandenburg Gate. The marathon has grown from humble origins. Originally known as the "Berliner Volksmarathon", its first running in 1974 attracted a field of only 286. Only in 1981, with the success of other big city marathons, did the organisers realise the attraction of running the race through the city centre. |
