Make a sporty start to Sunday morning together with some fellow runners and help to preserve the sense of sight at the same time: this is the goal of the Eye Run on the occasion of WOC 2010. This breakfast-time run follows a flat course leading through city and forest. The start and finish are located at Mommsenstadion, 10 minutes’ walk from the Messe Berlin exhibition grounds and the ICC Berlin. An award ceremony will take place following the run. Refreshments are provided and changing rooms and sanitary facilities are available.
