Pro tips
- 01
Start time
With a 10:30 start, you can eat a normal breakfast and warm up without rushing. Use the mid-morning to your advantage.

Temperature
Typical race-day temp is 7C, so wear layers you can shed. The Eifel in November is often damp, so gloves and a hat are smart.

Course character
The course runs on nature tracks and is considered tough, so pace for a slower marathon than a road race. Enjoy the scenery but don't chase fast splits.

Field size
