Description

Get ready runners, history buffs, and foodies alike, because we're about to embark on an exhilarating journey through the captivating history of the Berlin Marathon! From its humble beginnings in 1974, with only 244 finishers, to its standing today, boasting over 39,000 participants, we promise a riveting exploration of one of the world marathon majors. We'll reminisce about the transformative year of 1990, when the Berlin Wall crumbled and the marathon united the city in an unprecedented way, starting and finishing at the emblematic Bradenburg Gate. We won't stop there, though. We'll also glide our way into the excitement of the Berlin inline skating marathon and its vibrant Oktoberfest atmosphere. Expect live music and dancing, not to mention mouthwatering German delicacies like tangy sauerkraut, pretzels, and potato salad that will have your taste buds jumping for joy. Plus, don't miss out on our thrilling tales of record-breaking runs and the stories of the first male and female marathon runners. So lace up, plug in, and get ready to run (or eat) your way through Berlin with us! Wanna learn more about getting in to Berlin, how to train for it, and where to stay before the race?
