The BMW BERLIN‑MARATHON is renowned for record‑breaking performances, diversity and a vibrant citywide atmosphere. Recognised as one of the largest marathons in the world, it draws elite athletes and tens of thousands of recreational runners to the streets of Germany’s capital. A comprehensive event ecosystem spans training resources, an official marathon app and clear participant guidance, creating a smooth build‑up to race day.

Alongside the main marathon, the weekend traditionally features wheelchair and handbike fields, inline skating and youth-focused races, offering broad participation options.
