German marathons sound fun (Read 774 times)


Dog-Love

    I am visiting my family in Germany next year and was looking for a race (maybe a marathon) in July. The one that sounds the best (Konigsschllosser-Romantik Marathon) has this question listed FIRST under FAQ "Wann und wo ist die Nudelparty? Am Samstag, den 27. Juli. 2008 ab 17.00 - 20.00 Uhr im Festzelt an der Kemptener Straße" This sounds fun!
    Run like you are on fire! 5K goal 24:00 or less (PR 24:34) 10K goal 50:00 or less (PR 52:45) HM goal 1:55:00 or less (PR 2:03:02) Marathon Goal...Less than my PR (PR 4:33:23)

        Uhh.....it's a German spaghetti dinner......
          Yeah - no nudes, probably just noodles.
            Only German marathon I've heard of was in Berlin... or maybe it was Munich. Couple from Seattle living in Lativia who I met in Zürich told me about it. Not sure how we got on the subject of running... Only races I ever saw publicized in Europe were 7k and 14k races.

              Yeah, that!

                I'd rather go to a pre-race noodle party than a pre-race spaghetti feed. Sounds more festive.

                Along for the Ride

                  The Germans know how to throw a Nudelparty! Jawohl! How do I know? I am one of them Cool Mhhhm, beer... Crabby, that is a beautiful location to run! Very scenic.

                  Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

                  Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

                    Well if you're in Deutschland ....let's do it! My daughter said she will run the 10K around one castle. There is another marathon closer to Düsseldorf but it doesn't have a nudelparty

                      I might do one in July, as well. I've always wanted to do either the full or the half for this race: http://www.fichtelgebirgsmarathon.de/ it is small, rural, looks nice, and is where my family name is from.
