NO COLD IN FRANKFURT FRANKFURT (GER): An imposing field will line up for the race’s 32nd edition of BMW Frankfurt Marathon on Sunday. A year ago the thermometer dropped to freezing point on race day morning and the organisers took the precaution of having salt scattered around the bends to prevent runners slipping on any potentially icy surface. Judging by the current meteorological predictions, Christoph Kopp and Race Director Jo Schindler will not need salt on Sunday – that is for sure. The elite field is loaded with talent, showing 21 runners with personal bests of sub 2:10 and five have broken 2:05:30. The BMW Frankfurt Marathon is an IAAF Gold Label Road Race and around 15,000 runners are expected to take part. For the first time, the BMW Frankfurt Marathon will be shown live by a number of international TV stations. The following stations will broadcast the race live: Super Sport South Africa, Fox International / ESPN Star, Solar Sports Philippines, Starhub Singapore, OSNetwork, Zuku TV, The Sports Channel Israel, EBU, Slovak Sport Slovakia, Sky Mexico, Band Sports Brazil, Direct TV Latin America, Fox Sports Australia, Dolce Sport Romania, NTV Turkey, Canal+ France. For other territories the live stream will be accessible through the website of the race: bmw-frankfurt-marathon The race begins at 10.30 am local time (clocks go back one hour during the night before the race).
