November 17, 2008

With 795 relays and altogether 4184 the 16th edition of the marathon-relay in Berlin reported a new record in participation figures. The event location at the edge of the “Grunewald” was totally crowded and the runners enjoyed good running conditions (sunny+cool). In the men’s race 5 runners participate per relay team, while in the women’s category the marathon distance is covered by a relay of 6 runners.
