This year's Raiffeisen Bank Bucharest Marathon had a sold-out status as all the 16 thousand registration tickets were taken very early. The Romanian capital city showed its greatness in a mixture of wide boulevards and popular tourist attractions. The finish area is placed each year on the Constitution Square, just in front of the Palace of the Parliament, one of the largest buildings on Earth. About the results: it was the Moroccan Mohamed Chaaboud who won the 42.195 km race in 2:17:18, while Mekkonen Serkalem Mengiste, representing Ethiopia, set the best time in the women's category (2:37:44). It was a great honour and also pleasure to take part in this event as a multilingual presenter. Congratulations to all the people involved and many thanks for the great atmosphere!
