The real,- BERLIN MARATHON will remain again this year a two-day event. The

31st edition of the most spectacular German race will take place on September

25-26. Following discussions with the Senate Administrations for City

Development, Education, Youth, and Sport, with the police, and with the

Association of Retail Trade, it has been settled that the inline skaters for

the second time will be able to have their own race on Saturday, after the

debut in 2003.

“We are happy that, together with the authorities and institutions, we

were able to arrange to have the inline skating race again on Saturday, like

last year. Berlin is playing a leading role for this sport, which deserves to

be showcased. With the success of 2003, we have convinced both the general

public and the experts. The real,- BERLIN MARATHON is thus a worldwide

trendsetter“, explained Mark Milde, the organiser responsible for inline

skating. With over 200,000 spectators and a worldwide record number of

starters, 9,612 skaters, the real,- BERLIN MARATHON 2003 gained international

attention.

Unlike last year, however, the real,- BERLIN MARATHON for the inline skaters

will no longer take place in the afternoon, but in the morning. The time for

the start currently being discussed is between 9 and 10 a.m. on September 25.

The start and finish will remain on the Straße des 17. Juni and the

Brandenburg Gate.
