Through the history of the Marathon, held for a hundred years in Košice, a small city in central Europe, we learn stories woven across the world. Stories of people running for freedom, running to be ahead of time, running to run. The history of the town and the history of the marathon are blurring into one. From the first marathon, Košice was part of four different governments. The regime changed, but the marathon stayed. This track and blue lines on the road marking the way to the past. Behind the bend is the present which disappears in the fog of autumn morning in the memory of the runners.
