For the running year 2003 in Berlin, to our great pleasure almost all of the
races showed an increase in number of participants. Numerous event organisers
had to restrict participation to assure a smooth organisation. The enthusiasm
for running in Berlin continues-both outside of any formal organisation (just
having fun moving and the health aspects play a key role) and at the numerous
races organised in Berlin for the general public by the clubs.
