Gdansk is one of the most beautiful cities I´ve ever visited. Too bad that the course of the popular half marathon (Polumaraton Gdansk) does hit the city at all. Start and finish is at Amber Expo close to the modern and fancy stadium. Unfortunately neither the stadium nor the city is part of the course. Instead the course leads runners along boring streets through the neighborhood of Gdansk. Almost no people are cheering. The good thing about the course is the fact that it´s absolutely flat except of a bridge at km 19. All runners get a nice medal. Even though the event is not too big (ca. 3500 runners for the half marathon) the expo is quite big and well organized as well as the finish area. Massage service is offered for free and all runners can enjoy a warm delicous soup after the race. Weather conditions were perfect. Sunny blue skies and chilly temperatures around 6 degrees Celsius.
