There is hardly any ultra marathon with such a close relationship to
recent German history. This is because the Wall Race leads along the
former inner-German border, 100 miles around western Berlin. There
will be hundreds of runners from all over the world, running where
once the Wall stretched for miles, in an athletic commemoration of the
separation of Berlin and its victims in the years between 1961 and
1989. The finisher medal will again show the portrait of someone who
lost his or her life in an attempt to vanquish the barbed wire and
concrete. The Wall Race annually remembers the construction of the
Wall and the victims of Germany’s separation. The 100-Mile
course leads around Western Berlin and matches the former course of
the border.
