BMW Berlin Marathon

The BMW Berlin Marathon is one of 5 World Marathon Majors. It first started in 1974 and takes place in September, covering 42.2km of the German capital, starting and finishing near the iconic Brandenburg Gate. It is known for being a flat course with mild temperatures and a good supportive crowd, explaining why the most marathon world records have been set there. There are 40,000 registration spots, including wheelchair and hand cyclists, though no seperate power-walker event. The full marathon package costs 98 Euros and it is possible to run the course as a team of up to 3 runners.
