I love the Frankfurt marathon. It is an amazing event and gives us a great feel for running in Germany.

Frankfurt Marathon is wonderous event. If you want to run a marathon that is not too big, takes you through a vibrant German city and is nearly always cool, come to Frankfurt. The Expo is fun, great restaurants and a very helpful event staff! Here’s my shot video, done Friday, on the marathon. Thanks to Mike Deering, who produced this so quickly.
