This event, with its unique charm and highlights, has become a sacred place in the hearts of global runners.

Starting from the center of Berlin, runners can experience the unique blend of history and modernity of this city. Whether it's the ancient buildings or the modern facilities, they all allow runners to feel the profound heritage and boundless vitality of Berlin while they are running.

Anyone who has run the Berlin Marathon will be impressed by its large-scale but well-organized arrangements. Whether it's the different starting zones based on the estimated finish times on the day of the race and the separate event warm-up areas, especially the "circulation" part, which is worth learning from and emulating, the entire pick-up process can be described as very smooth. The post-race organization is also very orderly. You can collect your package at your tent, and then you can print your result sheet and engrave your name and score on the medal. The result sheet can be printed in 1 minute, the medal engraving takes 3 minutes, and everything will be completed within 5 minutes. There is no anxious waiting, only orderly, orderly, and even more orderly.
