A small gang of Chennai Runners is all set to run the Berlin Marathon tomorrow. Hari, Harish, Niranjan, Shahid & Anand will be running through this historic city. A city that was the epicenter of all major realignments in Europe for centuries.
Ramesh & I ran this Berlin Marathon in 2009. That was my marathon # 11 and first of the world majors. Here is a short illustrated reminiscing post.. dedicated to the Chennai Runners running Berlin tomorrow..

The icing on the cake was last 100 meters, we get to run through the historic Brandenburg Gate to the finish. To be able to run through a place where a wall stood for over 30 years dividing the city, country and the world was simply emotionally overwhelming for many runners. Ramesh had to rush back. He had a flight to catch flight soon after the race for some business meetings back in Delhi the very next day morning.... Good Luck Chennai Runners.. Hari, Harish, Niranjan, Anand & Shahid (last two not in the picture..). May the force be with you.. More Berlin Marathon Photos here.. |
