From the sports grounds, the running course leads onto the wide, wind-protected Wandlitzer Chaussee. The flat course promises fast times. One year before the World Championships, the 33rd German Championships in 100 km road running will be held on the same course. Men competition won André Collet in 6:46:41 h, women race won Katrin Gottschalk in 8:12:03 h.
Since 2004 Bernau has been the venue for races up to 24h. In 2020, as a substitute for the cancellation of German championships due to the pandemic, the DUV Challenge over various ultra distances took place at the Bauhaus Monument.
More details about the competition location and the route
- The route is 7.5 km long, fast and sufficiently wide.
- Despite the long straights, the route remains entertaining due to oncoming traffic.
- The implementation is easy to manage for runners, supervisors and helpers, as everything is compact and the bike path remains as a spectator and supervisor area.
Start, direction of travel, refreshment areas, finish line
Start
There will probably be separate starting areas for IAU and WMA starters. After approx. 200m, the two starting fields come together on the access road in front of the roundabout.
IAU-VP-Zone:
On Hans-Wittwer Street at the intersection with Hannes-Meyer-Street
WMA-VP-Zone:
Parking area in the south. It is important to place it in the outer curve so as not to impair the IAU runners.
Laufrichtung
The intended direction of movement is “counter-clockwise”. This means that the catering IAU VP zone is after the finish line. For the runners of the WMA ranking, self-catering will be provided before the finish line. But they then have the chance to get supplies from the official VP after they have passed the finish line.
Zielbereich
The finish area is at the end of the long straight on the Hannes-Meyer Campus.
Zwischenzeiten
The intermediate times at the finish result from the initial lap and the lap length of the following laps.
With an entrance loop of 2.5 km and 13 further laps with a length of 7.5 k, the following km readings result at the start and finish:
| 2,5 k | 10,0k | 17,5 k | 25,0 k | 32,5 k | 40,0 k | 47,5 k |
| 55,0 k | 62,5 k | 70,0 k | 77,5 k | 85,0 k | 92,5 k | 100,0 k |
It is expected that an intermediate time mat will be laid at 2.5 km on the route. There are then these further intermediate times:
| 5,0 k | 12,5 k | 22,0 k | 27,5 k | 35,0 k | 42,5 k | |
| 50,0 k | 57,5 k | 65,0 k | 72,5 k | 80,0 k | 87,5 k | 95,0 k |
