If you’ve never been on an easy jog with the German star runners Arne Gabius and Irina Mikitenko now you’ve got the opportunity. The Breakfast Run powered by InterAir is one of the real traditions of the marathon weekend in Frankfurt. Taking place on Saturday morning before the marathon it’s the warm-up, the prelude for the real race the following Sunday.
The 5k Breakfast Run is the place to be on the morning before the marathon. At this legendary running event which has a long history you’ll get a free breakfast (soft pretzels and apple juice – hence the name breakfast run or pretzel run) after you covered the 5k at a moderate speed allowing everyone to talk and chat and have a good time.
The first 1000 finishers will receive a commemorative medal upon arrival. The Breakfast Run starts at 10am at the Messe Frankfurt, City Entrance. The finish line is close by on the Messe area as well.
Our new title sponsor since last year is InterAir, a marathon travel organizer with deep roots in the running community. This year we present Irina Mikitenko (2:19:19 in 2008) and Arne Gabius the new German record holder (2:08:33 in 2015) who will run along with you.
