Information about Berlin Marathon

The Berlin Marathon is an annual marathon in Berlin, the capital of Germany. It usually takes place in late September. The "33rd Berlin Marathon" took place on September 24, 2006 for the runners, and on September 23 for inline skaters, power walkers, handbikers, wheelchair riders, and for the children's marathon (4.2195 km, or one-tenth of a full marathon). The first Berlin Marathon took place in 1974. On January 23, 2006 the five biggest marathons - Boston Marathon, Flora London Marathon, Berlin Marathon, LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon and ING New York City Marathon collectively launched the World Marathon Majors – a new series offering a $1 million prize purse to be split equally between the top male and female marathoners in the world.

The Berlin marathon has a flat course, which makes for a very fast race when the weather is right.
