A marathon in 56 minutes - Copterproject team wins Dronathon
A unique marathon event took place in Berlin on 26 August 2018 – not for runners, but drones.
Teams from across Europe came together to participate in the third DroneMasters Dronathon, the only marathon for industrial drones.
The pilots navigated the drones – which had to be built for applications in industry – around a horseracing track in Berlin-Karlshorst 30 times in order to achieve the classic marathon distance of 42.195km.
Officials from the FAI were present.
