Munich Marathon
Munich Marathon is a flat marathon in Munich, Germany, held each October. A one-lap city course through the English Garden with a single notable rise (the ~30m Isarhöhe), finishing at the Olympic Park. Mid-October is 5-13C. Flat courses like Munich's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
