Marathon “Mauerweglauf” or “100 with Berlin” is about 100 miles long and run until tomorrow, points out the page dedicated to this manifestation and running every year since 2011.
About 650 athletes running around the tracks of the wall between 1961 and 1989 separated West Berlin from the east to prevent the escapes of Germans living east and west, Arsh observes.
The medal given to the winners of the super marathon annually holds the portrait of one of the victims of the wall.
