The 5k and 10k races of the annual City Night draw the crowds to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche (Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church), the main landmark in the western part of Germany's capital Berlin.

Starting and finishing near the church, the 5k is an out-and-back run along the Kurfürstendamm boulevard.

The 10k begins with a 5.5km loop through the city centre. Then, it's out and back the "Ku'damm".

The route is flat and fast.

Last year, the 10k race had more than 5,500 finishers. The winners were Philipp Pflieger of Germany (29 minutes 36 seconds) and Czech athlete Eva Vrabcová-Nývltová (33 minutes 24 seconds). The time limit to complete the course is 90 minutes.
