Mainova Frankfurt Marathon

Frankfurt-on-the-Main is a unique German city glinting with glass, steel and concrete skyscrapers that serves as a conurbation to nearly 5.5 million inhabitants. The city is a high-powered finance and business hub boasting one of the world’s largest stock exchanges and the gleaming new headquarters of the European Central Bank. With some of the world’s most important trade fairs, its airport being the third-largest in Europe, and handling an abundance of travelers, Frankfurt is a global enterprise.

Despite its modernity, Frankfurt is a traditional and charming city with half-timbered buildings in a quaint medieval Altstadt, cosy apple wine taverns, village-like neighborhoods, beautiful parks, gardens, and riverside paths. With over a dozen museums, an active nightlife and entertainment scene, and a spirited student population, Frankfurt is a perfect destination for any traveling enthusiast. As home of the Frankfurt Marathon, the city's reputation is thanked for its long-running events, with its official name from 2010 to 2011 being BMW Frankfurt Marathon.
