At the stroke of the new year on Wednesday, January 1, 2003, the online
reg-istration for skaters for the Inline Skate Marathon Berlin 2003 was opened.
The first registration for the inline competition 2003 was received by the
or-ganisers of SCC RUNNING only six minutes into the new year.
It continued on sensationally: Within a few hours, 290 inline skaters had
registered on New Year’s Day for the largest inline marathon in the
world.

Through the new division of the 30th real,- BERLIN-MARATHON with the
skat-ers and runners competing on two separate days, both sports will now gain
their own significance and importance.
On Saturday afternoon, September 27, 12,000 skaters will start their race on
the quick Berlin track, while the runners will be able to celebrate the
anniver-sary of the race on Sunday, September 28, at a new finish on the
boulevard Straße des 17. Juni, not far from the Brandenburg Gate.
The planned changes were met with great approval and manifold positive
re-sponse from all sides when they were announced at the SCC RUNNING press
conference about the anniversary marathon in September.
