Welcome to the German Road Races Association, the interest group for German road race organisers
Throughout the country, thousands of runners fill the streets of cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich, creating a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere at the organised running events, while simultaneously keeping the many volunteers hectically busy for days and weeks. Even though road races have an almost 50-year-old tradition in Germany, the interest group of race organisers has only existed for ten years.
The list of founding members in 1995 includes the famous marathon races in Berlin, Duisburg, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hannover, Karlsruhe, and Munich, as well as popular road races like the Berlin Half Marathon, the Nürnburg Ring Race, and the Paderborn Easter Run.

NEW YORK - (May 12, 2012) - At the start of the UAE Healthy Kidney 10K on Saturday morning, the buzz was all about the 2012 U.S. Men's Olympic Marathon team of Meb Keflezighi, Ryan Hall and Abdi Abdirahman, who would be competing in the same race for the first and probably only time between January's U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston and the London Games this August.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - (May 9, 2012) - With more than 7 million female U.S. road race finishers in 2011, a record high according to Running USA, it's difficult to imagine that just 40 years ago running was not widely considered an appropriate sport for women. The longest distance women were allowed to run in the 1960 Rome Olympics was just 800 meters, and later, until the marathon and 3000 meters were added at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, the 1500 meters.
