Fantastic course through new and old parts of Munich. Relatively easy run with some tough parts squeezing around corners. This race is unique in the amount of old architecture and roads that you run on.
I would definitely recommend this race, and would consider running it again. It was pretty well organized at the start, but I would suggest more marshals and organizers on the field, particularly near the viktualienmarkt where there are a lot of non-running tourists. The expo was ok, I don’t really go for the expo though so I don’t really care, but it’s cool to go and see the stadium and where you’ll be finishing.
The spacing of the water stops was great, and the non-alcoholic beer at the end was a nice refreshment. And of course, finishing in the Olympic Stadium was a super epic moment, and really tied the entire thing together.

Highly recommended. Well organized, great course, which takes in some iconic Munich landmarks and finishes in the Olympic Stadium, easy event to deal with as an overseas runner. Not a great expo, at least in 2023. But not much not to like if you are looking for a big-city race in Europe.

Great City Marathon

Visiting my brother in Munich we decided (well ahead) to run the marathon together. Expo, start and finish is the Olympic Park, that almost felt to small for the expo. The race was through the city and the English Garden- a mix of asphalt and park roads, partially a bit narrow with light ups and downs. The finish line is in the Olympic stadium from 1972 and well-organised with beer and water, rolls, fruit and cake. The medal is traditinally heart shaped like a cookie that you can get at Oktoberfest.
Beer and Pretzels at the End

This was a fun experience, well organized and post race refreshments were great. The course was nice running through some historic parts of the city. There was a substantial stretch later in the race with cobblestones that felt pretty rough after a few miles but it was worth it. Finishing in the stadium was awesome, of all the races I have run the last .2 of this one really stands out in my memory.
