Half the distance, twice the pleasure!

 

In a nutshell, sport returns to Berlin with a bang on 7 April 2013 with the staging of the largest German half-marathon in the capital city, the “33rd Vattenfall BERLIN HALF-MARATHON". This popular sports day has evolved in recent years into a huge event, attracting 30,000 registered runners in 2013, more than ever before

Following the motto “Half the distance, twice the pleasure”, this year a 21,0975 km route awaits the runners again, starting and finishing on Karl-Marx-Allee. The route takes the runners through “Unter den Linden” and “Straße des 17. Juni“ to Charlottenburg Palace, and from there over Kurfürstendamm and Potsdamer Platz back to the finishing line.

To make the half-marathon a resounding success, we are organising one of our famous “Pasta Parties” on the evening before the run in our FOREIGN AFFAIRS restaurant. The varied buffet on offer is a sure-fire way to build up glucose stores in the muscles, thereby triggering the so-called “carboloading effect” – this helps runners prepare for the half-marathon in the best possible way. Indulge yourself in the world of penne, spaghetti et al, and enjoy delicacies such as:

- Penne rigate all'arrabbiata and rucola
- Capelletti pasta with turkey breast strips, taleggio and leek
- Lime salmon in a Limoncello sauce with carrots and fondant potatoes
