Ok, Aschaffenburg half marathon is a quite small event. Round about 500 runners took part. First of all: there is no start line measuring the time which means that there is no net-time. I was lucky that I started from the top. The course takes you from the sport arena which is located 2-3 km outside the city to downtown where you have to run 6 laps of about 3,1km which is quite boring. The finish is at the beautiful castle of Aschaffenburg which is by the way a small city in the northern part of Bavaria about 50 km east of Frankfurt. Unfortunately runners do not get a medal. Along the course there is one water station which also offers Cola. As it´s a 6 lap course you pass by the station 6 times and the volunteers know what you want after you have passed for the 3rd time! All runners do get a T-Shirt which I will definitively never wear as it´s really ugly. The best was the buffet of cakes in the arena 😀

Who wants to run 6 laps?
