Held in the Bavarian capital Munich in southern Germany, the Stadtlauf München is a massive event which attracts a crowd of 15,000 or more runners.

The half marathon starts off at 8.00am, followed by the 2km children's run at 8.20am, the 10km race at 10.30am, and the 5km run and walk at 12.45pm (when it may be blazing hot in the city).

All races begin and end on Marienplatz in the heart of the city (pictured).

Participants run along the pedestrianized Theatinerstraße, across the magnificent Odeonsplatz, past the gigantic Residenz palace complex, around the baroque Hofgarten, and through the vast Englischer Garten.

Instead of a bib, entrants get a technical T-shirt which they must wear during the race.
