A flat, fast half-marathon course in the striking city of Berlin! This is a race to set a new half-marathon personal best. With wide roads, fantastic crowd support, live music, and spectacular sights such as the famous Brandenburg Gate, you will see why Berlin is one of the best cities for running. As a destination, Berlin is diverse and exciting with much to offer.

We offer a three or four-night package in Berlin at our lovely hotel located within easy walking distance of the shopping Mecca of the Ku’damm and central Berlin. Berlin Zoologischer Garten Station is only a five-minute walk from the hotel, from which you can access Brandenburg Airport by direct train. Perfectly positioned for race day, the 2K and 11K spectator areas of the half-marathon route are only a 10-minute walk away, and the race start/finish area is 25-minutes away. We invite you to take part in shakeout runs, our pasta dinner, and race celebration.
