According to the measurement, the distance that the leading group accidentally ran with a shortcut of around 90 meters was 42.196 kilometers. A precision landing! The German champion Pfeiffer, who wants to take part in his first European Athletics Championships in August, has thus fulfilled the required standard of the German Athletics Association (DLV).
In general, a buffer is taken into account when planning the route for the 42.195 kilometers. It is basically 42 meters, in Hanover even a little more.
