Bart van den Bosch is the man<br />
who makes sure that the medals<br />
handed out at the <strong>BMW</strong> <strong>BERLIN</strong>-<br />
<strong>MARATHON</strong> are ones that finishers<br />
fall in love with. At the 49th edition<br />
of the event he earned one of these<br />
himself by completing the 42.195<br />
kilometres: „Wow! What a rush. I<br />
achieved my goal of staying under<br />
3:30—3:28:31. Personal best time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> incredible atmosphere along<br />
the course, the many bands, the<br />
wonderfully crazy fans, this great<br />
city. Unique. And then a nice volunteer<br />
handed me one of the medals<br />
that SCC EVENTS had ordered from<br />
me six months before. It doesn‘t<br />
get any better than that!
