The Yugoslav Sport Society 'Partizan' took it upon itself to organize the marathon. The latter two are also founding members of the German 100 Marathon Club. The runners from NATO countries were Zane Branson from the USA, and Michael Turzynski and Heinz Lorber from Germany. About 40 runners from nine countries crossed the finish line at 3 hours 15 minutes and 16 seconds. The 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia did not prevent the Marathon from taking place that year, and on April 17 the race was held as a metered group run. Since 1990 the Belgrade Marathon has a standard 42.195 km length. The track length of the 1989 marathon was 46.7 km, with the start and finish being in front of the Federal Parliament Building. The track length of the original 1910 marathon was 23 km with several checkpoints. The first modern marathon in Belgrade took place on May 8, 1988.
