Last Saturday, April 27th, I and other 3681 people had the chance to run (perhaps for the last time?) on the new landing strip of the “Berlin und Brandenburg” airport. The 7th Airport Run Berlin, this year started at 7:00 p.m., letting us to enjoy a beautiful sunset even if the clouds brought a little rain since the 5th km. The half-marathon participants went through two laps, while the 10 km course was made of a single lap. You can find the GPS track of my 10 km on the new cloud platform by SportTracks following this link.
A strong tailwind really speeded us up in the first 5 km, where I tried also to save some energies for the second part (what a headwind from 5th to 8th km!). After the good final time at the 24th Lauf in Britzer Garten, another PB has come almost unexpectedly, lowering my 10 km best time to 00:34:38.

It was an honour to join the podium of such a great race. The organisation (BERLIN LÄUFT) was, as usual, perfect and the staff very kind assisting runners immediately after the finish line.

| Medal and trophy for the second place overall over the 10 km race. |
Below there’s an extract from the official results of the 10 km race.
