The Mainova Frankfurt Marathon is more than just a race – it is an experience for the entire running family. And this often begins long before the starting gun is fired, namely on Friday at the marathonmall. Everything that is important in the running scene comes together in a 2,600 square metre space: innovative products, valuable tips and passionate experts. Almost 100 exhibitors are on hand to provide information about the latest developments in running – from high-tech running shoes and functional clothing to nutrition, regeneration and training.
What makes the marathon mall special is its atmosphere: here you can meet like-minded people, make contacts and get caught up in the ‘marathon vibe’. More than 40,000 visitors are expected – no wonder, since the route to the race numbers traditionally leads right through the middle of it. So if you’re still looking for some last-minute motivation for the race, you’re guaranteed to find inspiration here.
Main sponsor HOKA will once again have the largest stand at the marathonmall this year. Every year, there is a huge rush for the equipment supplier’s merchandise. Popular items usually sell out quickly. In order to do justice to the diversity of running, a varied exhibitor structure ensures variety and provides an overview of all relevant aspects of running.
A special highlight of the marathonmall is the Education Stage. Here, interviews with numerous experts from the sponsors ensure that participants in Germany’s oldest city marathon can once again get the latest information and interesting facts about running.
Especially in times when online retail dominates, the marathonmall is a place to touch, try out and meet – for active participants as well as for running enthusiasts from the region. And for those who still feel a little stage fright: a visit to the marathonmall often works wonders. Because this is where the mental preparation begins – with a smile and lots of anticipation for the 42.195 kilometres.
