Raiffeisen Bank Bucharest Marathon came to its 17th edition but this time the event was home of the masters world championship for marathon runners as well. More than 40 nations had representants at the event. The atmosphere was great during the weekend as the participants of the masters world champs really enjoyed the venue and had a great time in the capital city of Romania. I had the honour to be the host of the event, I will always remember the smiling faces of the athletes at the end of their 42,195 km race.
