Course
Since 2004 the course starts at Mindener Straße and leads the runners through the city of Cologne. Eventually the course finishes in the same location, as it started. In earlier years the course ended in front of Cologne Cathedral, but because of infrastructural reasons the start and finish have been relocated to the borough Deutz. The marathon is limited to 17,500 participants and the time limit is 6 hours.
