“Important Documents“ – Mail from the real,- BERLIN-MARATHON

The confirmation of registration should be in your mailbox now

2003-08-26

Over the past few days all participants in the 30th real,- BERLIN-MARATHON on September 27-28, 2003 have received mail with the headline “Important Documents“ on the envelope. The much sought-after confirmation of registration with the announcement of the race numbers has now been sent to all participants in 87 countries. 35,000 runners and 9,000 inline skaters can look forward to being part of the anniversary marathon in Berlin.

3,432 kilograms of printed paper had to be “moved“ and packed by the volunteers.

Eight different papers are included in the letter, beginning with the time plan and supporting programme for the marathon week. Technical details, as well as information on how the participants can get to the race number distribution in the fair grounds at the Radio Tower (Funkturm) in halls 21- 23 and how to use the CHIP, are supplied. Of course, a sketch of the new race course and information on the start of the Breakfast Run from the Charlottenburg Palace to the Olympic stadium are presented. The participants are called to run for a good cause, for the German Agro Action (DWHH) for Ethiopia, by the most successful German marathon runner, Sonja Oberem. Last year over 35,000 € were collected by the runners for the DWHH for a selected project in Afghanistan. The participants will be able to order photos from the official photo service of the race—and they are informed about the anniversary publication for the MARATHON.

One can already take a look at the “official event collection“ in the enclosed adidas catalog and then order online at the real,- BERLIN-MARATHON souvenir shop – or purchase items at the BERLIN VITAL marathon fair. Not to be forgotten—the race will be broadcast live on ARD/RBB from 9:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, so tell your friends and family at home so they can watch the race in Berlin on TV.

Please double-check the information (name, address, age, etc.) listed in your confirmation of registration—if there are any mistakes, please contact us in writing at: info@berlin-marathon.com.

If you have any further questions, there is a plethora of information available on the internet at: www.berlin-marathon.com

The team of real,- BERLIN-MARATHON would like to wish all participants successful and healthy final weeks of training.

Have a good trip to Berlin.
