Race Information
The BMW Berlin Marathon is one of the world's largest marathons and a member of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. Its famously flat, fast course has produced more marathon world records than any other race, making Berlin a popular target for runners chasing a personal best.
The course takes runners through the heart of the German capital, passing many of Berlin's best-known landmarks and neighbourhoods. The signature moment comes late in the race, when runners pass through the Brandenburg Gate shortly before the finish.
First held in 1974, the Berlin Marathon has grown from a small local race into one of the sport's marquee events, with huge crowds lining the course and an international field of more than 50,000 runners.
