You don’t have to participate in the 2009 World Championships of Athletics to experience the original marathon course of the champions run.
Now both regular and occasional runners have the opportunity to take the champions route and see the sights of Berlin - on almost every day and every time of the day, including after the championships themselves.
Even better: The actual day and the start time is your choice. Leave the stopwatch and competitive spirits at home. Instead experience with your personal guide a tour of a special kind at a relaxed speed.
If you're up to more then 10 km sightseeing, then just add another 2.195 meters and run the marathon extra loop, while listening to your guide give you interesting information along the way.
