Another new feature is already equal to the Start: The start is just before the Commerzbank Arena. Also new is the route, which follows after the start. It leads past the golf course through the city Niederrad to the Main Office. From there the Main-up view of the Frankfurt city. The track is south of the Main and runs along the Museum Embankment to Sachsenhausen, then by the road and the Mörfelder Isenburger back to the corridor leading Commerzbank Arena www.spiridon (see-frankfurt.de).

The route is almost completely flat and can therefore expect good times. It is completely free of traffic, measured and every mile will be marked. Spiridon eV thus remains faithful to its concept: "THE" half marathon sporting event on site provision at the beginning of the season to offer.
