The 31st real,- BERLIN-MARATHON on the internet

The real,- BERLIN-MARATHON will offer a wide variety of live information along

with the inline skating and running events on their website

www.berlin-marathon.com. On the days before, during an after the marathon

weekend, the Berlin internet server will likely record over a million

pages visited. The internet preparation for the 2-day event has

already been going on for many weeks.

Alone on Sunday afternoon, several hundred thousand internet pages will be

visited. Most important for those stopping in is one thing: the participant

results, finding out who came in how fast at www.berlin-marathon.com.

Even during the race one can follow the exact progress of a specific

participant. That is made possible by the Championchip timekeeping, worn by

each participant on his/her foot.

After the race one can print out a downloadable preliminary certificate. In

addition to the results, much more is offered online at the real,-

BERLIN-MARATHON, including numerous live activities.

Since the beginning of September one can once again (for the 5th

time) register for the SMS results service.

Participants can submit up to three cell numbers and one email address

to receive news of the finishing time immediately after the finish has been

crossed. This way friends and family at home can find out how

successful the participant was. The average time of the messaging is three

seconds after crossing the finish line.

Parallel to the race there will also be a live ticker with

news of the race by journalists at the press centre.

Various live stream images will be made available by RBB to give a visual

impression of the happenings. Photographers will be underway taking

pictures along the course. These will also be available online during the

race.
