BERLIN MARATHON 2027

26 SEPTEMBER 2027

The Berlin Marathon is world‑renowned as the fastest marathon course on the planet, a stage where records are broken and legends are made. Held annually in late September, it is part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors alongside Boston, London, Tokyo, Chicago, New York, and Sydney. The 2025 edition welcomed nearly 50,000 finishers from over 160 nations, making it one of the most international marathons in existence. Starting on Straße des 17. Juni in the Tiergarten, the course winds through ten districts of Berlin, past landmarks such as the Victory Column, Reichstag, Berlin Cathedral, and Fernsehturm, before culminating in the unforgettable finish through the Brandenburg Gate. With its flat, fast route, cool autumn weather, and the roar of over a million spectators, Berlin offers both a chance at personal bests and a cultural journey through history. Whether you’re chasing a world record, running for charity, or simply embracing the atmosphere, the Berlin Marathon delivers an unmatched experience—where every stride echoes with unity, resilience, and celebration.
