Generali München Marathon

The natural habitat of well-heeled power dressers and Lederhosen-clad thigh-slappers, Mediterranean-style street cafes and Mitteleuropa beer halls, highbrow art and high-tech industry, Germany’s unofficial southern capital is a flourishing success story that revels in its own contradictions. If you’re looking for Alpine clichés, they’re all here, but the Bavarian metropolis has many an unexpected card down its Dirndl.With that being said, the Munich Marathon is the place to be!!Whoever has competed in one of the editions of MUNICH MARATHON knows that tingling sensation. The concentration and tension of the runners is tangible; only subsiding when the starter’s pistol finally sounds and your sightseeing tour through Munich starts right away.

On the last 300 metres and accompanied by the cheers of the crowd, they turn into the home stretch of the Olympic Stadium.Half MarathonExperience the full “Munich Marathon feeling” with just half the distance!
