	Berlin Marathon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Berlin Marathon is an annual marathon in Berlin, the capital of Germany.
		The "33rd Berlin Marathon" took place on September 24, 2006 for the runners, and on September 23 for inline skaters, power walkers, handbikers, wheelchair riders, and for the children's marathon (4.2195 km, or one-tenth of a full marathon).
		The Berlin marathon follows a low-altitude course without any great elevations, which makes it a very fast race when the weather is right.

		Berlin, where the music is hip-hop and the marathons are fast, is Germany’s largest city.
		The Berlin Marathon is billed as "flat, fast, and unforgettable," and this year’s race was just that as it matched the women’s reigning Olympic gold medallist, Naoki Takahashi of Japan, against reigning world record holder, Tegla Loroupe of Kenya.
		In fact, during the 1990s Berlin was the largest construction site in Europe as the German government worked to move the capital from Bonn to Berlin (and into mostly new buildings).

		This year's pool of entrants was the largest in the marathon's history and puts it on par with marathon giants including New York, London and Chicago.

		The slogan for the 2001 Berlin Marathon was "Run for Peace," and all athletes were asked to donate to a relief fund for the families of the New York City firefighters and police officers who lost their lives.

	Gym Bunny Does Berlin, Amsterdam and who knows where else...
		Last night's run was a half marathon training run for the brave, or the normal 5 - 6 miler for those who didn't fancy it.
		I'd never have run a half marathon (or a "nearly half" marathon - the main loop is 12.5 miles, but there are a couple of detours to make up the distance which we didn't do) in that sort of weather, in the dark, after work, on my own.
		The Trans Gran Canaria October West-East route looks fantastic, and it finishes metres from her house (which is about as far as I'd be able to stagger after 67k and a 2000 metre climb on trails through the mountains).
