        Registration for the 34th BERLIN-MARATHON Begins on Friday 

At noon tomorrow, Friday, December 15, 2006, registration for the 34th 
BERLIN-MARATHON, which will take place on September 29/30, 2007, will be 
opened. With 47,755 registered runners, walkers, wheelchair competitors, 
hand cyclists, and inline skaters (who had their own separate event on 
Saturday), the last BERLIN-MARATHON was by far the largest event in Germany 
for the 42.195 km distance. Starting on Friday, one can either register 
online or print out and send in the form that is available on the website. 
The event organiser, SCC-RUNNING, will begin distributing the printed forms 
soon.

For the past few years, the 40,000 race numbers were sold out weeks before 
the registration deadline ended in the summer. Those who register quickly 
will be assured participation in one of the most spectacular road races in 
the world. The BERLIN-MARATHON is even more attractive because it belongs 
to the World Marathon Majors (WMM). This series also includes the Boston 
Marathon (April 16), the Flora London Marathon (April 22), the LaSalle Bank 
Chicago Marathon (October 7), and the ING New York City Marathon (November 
4). In addition, next year the World Championship marathon races in Osaka 
(on August 25th for the men and on September 2nd for the women) will be 
included in the WMM valuation.
