Runners started from the Kruppstrasse in the Sportpark Wedau from there the race took runners through Neudorf towards the city centre. Here the half-marathon course took runners in a southerly direction towards the Dellviertel, while the full marathon course directs them towards the Inner Harbour and then through Kasslerfeld and Ruhrort.
