The course
The Frankfurt Marathon follows a single flat loop through the city, starting on Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage near the Messe (exhibition grounds) and finishing inside the historic Festhalle on a red carpet. The route runs through the city centre past the skyline, into Sachsenhausen south of the River Main, west toward Hoechst, then back along Mainzer Landstrasse to the city centre. Total climbing is minimal (around 65-75 m), with long straight stretches along the Main; the start and finish areas include some twisty cobbled sections.
