Düsseldorf Marathon is a flat marathon in Düsseldorf, Germany, held each April. Flat Rhine-side straights with the only rises at the bridge crossings — a negative-split-friendly course. Late April is 8-13C. Flat courses like Düsseldorf's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
