The 12th "Stadtwerke Lübeck Marathon" on Sunday with moer than 4100 participants has showed again that it is obviously one of the most nicest running events in the region and even in Germany. 506 marathoners started at 10 to run the 42,2km track distance which goes from the city centre of Lübeck, around the "Holstentor" to Travemünde and all the way back. With mild temperatures and little wind runners had almost perfect conditions. Thousands of spectators provided plenty of mood and motivation.
