On Sunday, there is the next Frankfurt half marathon. These are photos from last year’s race.

The roads are blocked off for the runners. Cars and police men on motorbikes clear the road just ahead of the runners.

The front runners are so fast, they are difficult to catch on camera.

Some seem to fly over the surface.

The first few hundred runners take little notice of anything around them, they just concentrate on the road.

The slower runners seem to have a lot more fun, smiling and sometimes even joking amongst themselves.

Some even acknowledge the cheering spectators and groupies on the side of the road.

And just before the end, well deserved nourishment and reward (aka: beer) is handed out to a selected few to help them over the finishing line.
