Race Director Henryk Paskal (former good runner with a p.b. 2:18:14) inspires like no other his volunteer team has a very good contact to the Polish elite runners.
That's how it felt for uns nearly 40 years of organisation tasks for the Berlin-Marathon and other races in Berlin. On sept 9th in PILA/Poland the Polish Championships were held over the half marathon dictance.
Organized as an open popular races (2.500 participants) under control of the Polish Federation. It was started at 11.00 h under excellent circumstances, sunshine, 20 degrees, practically no wind.
PILA (formerly Schneidemühl), a lovely little city with several parks and fresh painted buildings and only very few traces of architecture from the moving past.
The Polish runners were practically among themselves. Only 4 runners from Kenia, 2 top athletes from Bjelorussia gave this race a little bit of international flair.
Sponsered by PHLIPS and ASICS this race definitely has a future.
In the ninetees very good Polish runners came to Germany, especially to Berlin, to show their abilities.
For those German runners who prefer the familiar atmosphere of small races above the stress of big city races, the PHILIPS PILA half marathon is a true recommendation.
Race Director Henryk Pascal (former good runner with a p.b. 2:16:00) inspires like no other his volunteer team has a very good contact to the Polish elite runners.
