real,- BERLIN-MARATHON

Providing opportunities for people with learning disabilities

The famous real,-Berlin Marathon is an annual event that first took place on 13 October 1974 with a mere 284 runners representing just four nations. The event now attracts close to 60,000 runners from over 100 countries and includes a half-marathon and a women's competition.

The race starts in Strasse de 17 Juni at the Charlottenburg Tor close to Ernst-Reuter Square and ends at Kurfurstendamn. The course takes runners through 10 Berlin districts: Charlottenburg, Tiergarten, Mitte, Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, Neukolln, Schoneberg, Steglitz, Zehlendorf and Wilmersdorf passing such famous landmarks as the Brandenburg Gate, the Victory Column, the State Opera and the cathedral.

Live bands, food and drink stalls add to the atmosphere and over a million spectators turn out to cheer on the competitors Canterbury Oast Trust has a limited number of places available for this important European Marathon and we would be delighted to have you on our team.

To gain one of our places we would ask you to commit to raising a minimum of £1,500.

You will be required to make your own travel and accommodation arrangements, thereby enabling you to make the most of your time in Berlin.

Your support will help to make a considerable difference to the lives of so many people with learning or physical disabilities.

What we can give to you:

• Running Vest
• Marathon Training Plan in association with realbuzz.com
• Fundraising help and support, including sponsorship forms and fundraising tips

If you have your own place but would like to support us, then you would be very welcome to join our team and receive all of the support listed above.

Canterbury Oast Trust is a small charity and we believe, as we are sure you do, that it is important for us to use your sponsorship money wisely and as a result our runner support services are quite limited.

By working together we can help make a difference to the lives of so many people.

Thank You
