Marathon de Berlin

BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2026 takes place in Berlin, Germany, on 27 September 2026. As one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, it is one of Europe’s most recognisable road running events and attracts a large international field.

The event is built around the classic marathon distance, but the wider race weekend also includes wheelchair racing, handbike competition, inlineskating and the GENERALI 5K. This gives the Berlin weekend a broader sporting identity than a single-distance marathon and makes it relevant for both elite athletes and mass-participation runners.

For runners, the main appeal is the chance to take part in a major city marathon with a global reputation, a large field and strong international visibility. It is especially suitable for marathon runners looking for a high-profile autumn race in one of Europe’s best-known running cities.
