At the end of the year, the members of the BERLIN MARATHON Jubilee Club

traditionally receive the Running News and a letter with the current membership

and information on what is going on in the club. The new members are greeted by

name, along with their city listing.

The club continues to grow, and we are delighted that the members come

from 14 countries. Nothing demonstrates more strongly the attractiveness and

appeal of the real,- BERLIN MARATHON.

In the following, the letter is available in its completeness.

Jubilee Club Info 2/2003

Dear BERLIN MARATHON Jubilee Club members,

Shortly before the end of the year 2003, we would like to send you the

latest Running News (Nr. 4) of 2003. The certificates and the

“abbreviated“ list of results (only a portion of all of the results

were published) of the 30th real,- BERLIN MARATHON 2003 have since been

received everywhere. Bernd Hübner continues to be the absolute

front-runner in the Jubilee Club with a total of 30 times participating, while

Christl Heine leads the women with 23. Of our club members, this year we had a

total of 48 women and 729 men runners, as well as 6 wheelchair competitors at

the start. We would like to congratulate everyone who again made it

successfully to the new finish—near the Brandenburg Gate.

The new extra race number on the back for the club members was

well-received, often initiating positive commentary from the other runners, and

the new special certificates for 15, 20, 25, and 30 times participating were

also received with recognition. After this year’s 30th real,- BERLIN

MARATHON, 49 new members were accepted and honoured on stage. Unfortunately not

all of them were able to make it in time to the ceremony due to the relocation

of the awards ceremony from Pariser Platz to the Platz des 18. März. We

would like to extend our apologies here again for this misfortune.

We would like to cordially greet all of our new members and are pleased with

the attractiveness of the BERLIN MARATHON Jubilee Club. Following the MARATHON

we received 30 further registrations for the Jubilee Club. We would like to

welcome them as well into the Club—all of the “new ones” are

listed in the attachment.

The most current numbers are now: 1,229 members (78 women, 1135 men, 16

wheelchair competitors) – the members coming from 14 countries.

We are also including an order form for the MARATHON BOOK 2003 – a

wonderful memento with impressive photos from an unforgettable MARATHON. All

Jubilee members are perpetuated by name with their number of times

participating in the book.

We wish all of the members good health, personal success and fun running for

the year 2004. And of course we hope to be able to greet many of the members

again at the 31st real,- BERLIN MARATHON on September 26, 2004 in Berlin.

Sincerely,

Horst Milde

Race Director

Bernd Hübner

Head of the Jubilee Club Department
