Pictures of the Fidelitas Night Run
The following group of pictures is from last years race, but the course was the same so you can at least get the idea of part of the course.
The first kilometer, circling back around in front of the clubhouse:
Running through the Odenwald Forest - around kilometer 3:
The Durlach aid station around kilometer 9.5 (in front of main train station):
Running along the fields between Durlach and Hagsfeld - around kilometer 12 (7.5 miles):
The fields looking toward the hills behind Grotzingen (the first hills that I ran) - around kilometer 15:
Waiting for the train at kilometer 16 (10 miles):
The first relay change station in Grotzingen - around kilometer 18.5 (11 miles):
The first big hill outside Grotzingen - kilometer 20 (12 miles). So up...
...and up...
...and up...
...and up...
and finally around kilometer 24 (15 miles)...
...we started running down towards Johlingen.
A well deserved break in Johlingen - around kilometer 27.5 (17 miles):
Up the hill by Woschbach in the direction of Singen - around kilometer 30 (18.5 miles):
Over the next hill towards Singen:
The hill before Singen - around kilometer 35 (22 miles):
Running down into Mutschelbach around kiometer 39 (24 miles - right after I bid my friend Walter goodbye):

So, so GERMAN!!!! Nice trails. Maybe one day I'll run a race in Germany, but I think I would feel weird about it. My friend wants me to run the Berlin Marathon with her...I have to think about it.

Nice scenery like that makes the miles so much more pleasant.
