The 42.195km route begins and ends at the Messe Frankfurt, one of the largest trade fair grounds in the world.
The start line is on Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage at the foot of the 257-metre-high Messeturm (pictured above) whereas the finish line is inside the Festhalle, a multi-purpose hall with a magnificent steel-and-glass dome, completed in 1909.
With a difference of about 28 metres between the lowest and the highest point on the course, the route is generally flat and fast, and many runners have set a personal record in Frankfurt.
