About Berlin Marathon

The Berlin Marathon is an annual long-distance running event held in Berlin, Germany, and is one of the six major World Marathon Majors races. Known for its fast course and record-breaking performances, the event attracts elite athletes and recreational runners from around the world. The marathon showcases Berlin's landmarks, international participation, and the city's strong running culture. The Berlin Marathon does not have a permanently fixed calendar date. It is usually held in late September, with the exact date determined by event organizers and the international marathon calendar. The race commonly takes place on a Sunday, but the specific Gregorian date changes each year depending on scheduling decisions and event planning requirements. The race covers the standard marathon distance of 42.195 kilometers (26.2 miles) and features a mostly flat route through the streets of Berlin. The course is recognized as one of the fastest marathon routes in the world, making it popular among runners aiming for personal best times and world records. The finish near the Brandenburg Gate provides one of the most iconic moments in international marathon racing. A common misconception is that the Berlin Marathon is only for professional athletes. While many elite runners compete for championship titles and records, the event also welcomes thousands of amateur participants who qualify through various entry methods. The marathon celebrates both elite competition and the broader global running community.
