The Munich Marathon is a marathon in Munich that, when it was re-launched on October 15, 2000, has always been held on the second Sunday of October since the following year, and has since always been one of the five most popular marathons in Germany. The event also includes a 10 km run (since 2006), a marathon relay (since 2007) and a half marathon (since 2010).

Since 2018 the city marathon has been called the Generali Munich Marathon . Generali Versicherungs AG is the title sponsor .

history

Munich Marathon 2005, starting block B

The first marathon that ran through the streets of Munich took place at the 1972 Olympic Games . The start and finish of the course was in the Olympic Stadium . From there it first went west, then through the Nymphenburg Palace Park and past the palace of the same name to the Hirschgarten . The second half passed the city center, led to the Englischer Garten on Königinstraße and returned to the Olympic Stadium through Schwabing. The American Frank Shorter won in 2:12:20 h.

In 1977, the Jahn Munich association, under its chairman Alfred Pohlan, launched the Oktoberfest marathon , which was held for the first time on September 17, 1977 on an 8 km lap between the Olympic Park and the Oberschleißheim regatta course . The event continued until 1983. In the same year, the Olympia City Marathon was launched, which was run by FVS e. V. was organized and hosted by MRRC Munich . The run, designed as a city ​​marathon , took place for the first time on May 8, 1983 and quickly established itself as one of the fastest and most participant marathons in Germany.

In 1985 there was a double victory for daughter and mother among women: Olivia Grüner won ahead of her mother Annemarie. In 1989 Herbert Steffny was the first runner to remain under Shorter's Olympic winning time. The following year, 636 runners from the GDR started , for whom the organizer had waived their entry fees.

In the 1990s, mismanagement led to the decline of the event, which was discontinued after the MRRC filed for the mandatory dissolution of the FVS in 1996 and its president Michael Schultz-Tholen declared bankruptcy.

In 2000 there was a new edition as a media marathon , with start and finish at the Zenith site and a route that ran through the north of Munich to Unterföhring . Part of the event this year was a competition for inline speed skaters over the marathon distance with a total of 763 participants, which was run by Pascal Briant for men (1:15:56 h) and Anne Titze for women (1:19:48 h ) was won.

The course had not been optimized in the first year of the new event, as there was no permit for a route through the city center. That changed after the success of the premiere, so that in 2001 the start (at the Werner-von-Linde-Halle ) and the finish (in the stadium of the Central University Sports ) were as once in the Olympic Park and the sights of the city center were again integrated into the route were.

Since 2002, as with the first edition in the 1980s, the finish line has been in the Olympic Stadium . Under the organizer Gernot Weigl, the media marathon grew to become the fourth largest marathon competition in Germany by 2003. Since 2006, the event has been held again under the name Munich Marathon , whereby the events carried out as the Olympia City Marathon are taken into account for the count . In the same year, the German Marathon Championship was held as part of the Munich Marathon. Originally it was planned to also award the championships to Munich in the following two years, but then the German Athletics Association decided to let them take place at the Gutenberg Marathon in 2007 .

From 2006 to 2008 there was a combined evaluation called Munich Hero, in which the results of the Munich Triathlon and the Munich Marathon were added up. In 2007 the decision was made to run the route clockwise through the city, which means that the passage through the English Garden was relocated to the first half of the route.

In 2010 in Munich, Christian Hirsch was the third runner worldwide and the first German with Down syndrome to reach the goal of a marathon. In 2016, the Munich Marathon GmbH was awarded the “Social Award” by the “ Association of International Marathons and Distance Races ” (AIMS) at their world congress for their efforts to integrate refugees.

A part of the supporting program is the traditional costume run with around 600 participants, which took place for the first time in 2010 on the route from the Olympic Park to the Nymphenburg Canal and back. The supporting program also includes the mini-marathon for children and young people who cover the first and last kilometers of the marathon route and enter the Olympic Stadium. Around 50,000 people visit the attached GMM sports fair in the large Olympic hall every year.

From 2012 to 2014, the German marathon championship was held in Munich . In 2015 the Munich Marathon celebrated its 30th edition with 22,825 starters from 58 nations.

The two fastest women in the 2016 race - the winner at the time, Latifa Schuster and the second placed Anne Lupke from Hamburg - were convicted of doping after the race. As a result, third-placed Cornelia Wieland was subsequently awarded the gold medal.

Generali Versicherung AG has been the title sponsor of the Munich Marathon since 2018. The Munich airport and the BMW Group are also major sponsors.

route

Runner field at Marienplatz

The start of the marathon and the 10 km run takes place at Coubertinplatz in the Olympic Park . From there it goes over Spiridon-Louis-Ring, Ackermannstraße, Elisabethstraße and Franz-Joseph-Straße to Leopoldstraße . Since 2019 the marathon route and from 2020 also the 10 km running route has passed the Siegestor and over Ludwigstrasse through Maxvorstadt . Here the route runs past well-known buildings and places such as the Pinakothek , Karolinenplatz and Königsplatz . Back over Theresienstraße, the 10 km runners have reached the 10 km mark with a view of Odeonsplatz . The marathon runners turn back onto Ludwigstrasse in the direction of North Schwabing and the English Garden . The northernmost point of the route is reached at the Aumeister . Then it goes south past the Seehaus of the Kleinhesseloher See and the Chinese Tower . You cross the Isar over the Max-Joseph-Brücke and get to Bogenhausen via the only significant ascent of the otherwise flat stretch . Further north in Oberföhring , the route describes an arc and runs over Cosimastraße in a southward direction to Berg am Laim . Behind the Ostbahnhof , turn into Rosenheimer Straße, which you follow west towards the center. More than two thirds of the route (34 km) are covered when you get back to the left bank of the Isar via the Ludwigsbrücke at the Deutsches Museum . This is followed by a “sightseeing” loop through the old town with Isartor , Viktualienmarkt , Marienplatz , Odeonsplatz, until you arrive at the Siegestor again at km 37 and repeat the first kilometers of the route in the opposite direction, before turning to the finish in the Olympic Stadium.

The half marathon runs on the second half of the marathon course from the Chinese Tower to the Olympic Stadium.
