RUNNING GERMANY: Bad Dürkheim – 9th Marathon Deutsche Weinstraße (German Wine Road) – Sunday, 30th March 2014
Dear friends, the German-wine-road-marathon „Marathon Deutsche Weinstraße“, in the palatine region, is one of the most scenic road races in Germany.
The race starts at the small wine village of Bockenheim, where the „Deutsche Weinstraße“ begins. The course then runs along the vineyards of the „Leiningerland“ district, into the district of Freinsheim, through beautiful and romantic wine villages leading to the halfway- and turning-point at the giant wine barrel in the spa town of Bad Dürkheim.
Competitors and spectators alike can experience and enjoy the feeling of the Mediterranean springtime of the Palatine region. Take the chance to combine the race with a short holiday in the region of the “German Weinstraße”.
We are looking forward to your visit!
