One of the flattest, fastest marathons on earth. Just 28m of height difference across 42.195km through Frankfurt, along both banks of the river Main. A course built for one thing: a personal best.
The route
A closed-road circular loop through the city and out along both banks of the river Main: past the banking skyline, through Sachsenhausen, out to Höchst, then the long Mainzer Landstrasse straight back to the Festhalle. Only about 28m of height difference the whole way.
Late-October, Frankfurt am Main
Highs around 15°C and lows around 6°C, but it has dropped to -4°C. Rain on 33% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
