Fehmarn is a small German island in the Baltic Sea around 1 to 2 hours drive from Hamburg. The marathon is a running festival for the whole family. You can run a full marathon (2 laps), half marathon (1lap), 10k, 5k and there is also a kid´s run. As the weather was beautiful this year the atmosphere at the start and finish was fantastic. Start of the marathon was at 10 am and the half marathon at 10.30 am which was a bit late as it became very hot. As there is absolutely no shadow along the course (Fehmarn is a very flat island and running at the dike does not provide any shadow at all) it became quite tough at the end. The course is a beautiful round course of 21.1km and absolutely flat. As it is a very small race with 150 half marathon runners and some 70 marathon runners there is no expo. Unfortunately this year runners did not get a medal – I was very disappointed when I realized that fact as it was my 150th half marathon. At least we got a certificate.
