Record numbers expected in Münster

Word has long since spread that this event marathon with its many artists and enthusiastic audience lining the course boosts the adrenaline levels of every participant.

This mental support from the spectators is important for perseverance, which is why the finish line on the red carpet in the middle of Münster’s beautiful city centre is such a desirable goal for a marathon. And if the set goal is then achieved – that’s all you need to be happy on that day.

Almost 2,500 marathon runners have now registered around nine weeks before the race, a number that has not been achieved so far in advance for 15 years. Marathon runners from all over the world are still signing up every day.

Those who would prefer a shorter route will unfortunately have to wait until next year.

The Atruvia relay marathon has already reached the 1,600 runner mark. The Hengst Filtration 28 km run had already increased its quota, but this is now also fully booked with 700 starting places. The Westfalen AG charity run over 10 km in aid of the José Carreras Foundation, whose quota has now been increased to 180 places, is also fully booked. All the places for the 6 km at the H&B technics health run have now also been taken with 300 participants. The Stadtwerke Kids Marathon has traditionally been the first to sell out, and will start with 300 children.

For the first time, the Volksbank Münster Marathon is organizing a panel discussion on running on the Friday before the event from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Engel Room of the Atlantic Hotel, the marathon’s elite hotel. Interesting guests are Esther and Hendrik Pfeiffer, both of whom have already won German marathon championship titles. The panel discussion will be moderated by TV presenter Ralf Scholt and Michael Brinkmann from Münster Marathon e.V.
