This year, it's the big 50th anniversary, and trust me, it’s going to be epic!

What's the buzz?

The BMW Berlin Marathon 2024 is set for September 29th, and it's not just any race; it's part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, alongside iconic races like the New York City Marathon and Boston Marathon.

The Berlin Marathon is famous for its fast, flat course – perfect for setting personal bests and even world records.

Last year, we saw Tigst Assefa smash the women's marathon world record with a time of 2:11:53. Incredible, right?

The event kicks off with the GENERALI 5K on September 28th, which is a fantastic warm-up and a chance for everyone to join the fun.
