The event in a few words

Ready to run as fast as the Germans drink their beer? 🍻 Head over to Berlin for one of the fastest half marathons in the world! ⚡️ That's right: with a course that's sheltered from the wind 💨, very flat 📏, and featuring an elite field of runners 👆, the Berlin Half Marathon has been the site of the last 7 world half marathon records 😅.

But the real highlight this year is that this highly sought-after half marathon is joining (and logically) the SuperHalfs series! 🏆 So, a quick reminder, the SuperHalfs comprise 6 races - 60 months - 1 medal! 🤩 To clear things up, you have 60 months to participate in 6 half marathons taking place in: Lisbon, Prague, Copenhagen, Cardiff, Valencia, and now Berlin! You can participate in the races in any order, but within the given timeframe 📅. At the end of this journey, you'll receive a medal during your last race 🏅.

If that's not great news! Get ready to be the next one, in April, to race through Berlin's famous avenues 😜. But hurry, spots fill up fast! 🏃‍♂️ It kicks off at 10:05 AM in the city with a bang 🚩. Even better than a quick tourist train, you'll explore the most popular spots in the capital, including the Großer Tiergarten, the city's largest and oldest park, the Charlottenburg Palace 🏰 (a sight to behold), the Siegessäule, a symbol of Prussia's victory over Denmark, and more... You'll start at the victory column (named appropriately 🏆) and finish at the Brandenburg Gate. As for the rest, we'll leave that as a surprise 🎁.

Even if the weather might not be perfect, with chilly temperatures 🌬️ and unpredictable conditions 😬, you won't be freezing. The event's fantastic atmosphere and the locals' hospitality will likely warm your heart 🔥, and the numerous activities will have you moving! 🎉 Once your journey in the capital is complete, we recommend indulging in a leberwurst (a flavorful liver sausage spread 😋). If you're not a meat eater, you'll find plenty to enjoy: Berlin is the vegan and vegetarian cuisine capital of the world! 🥑 It's also a city rich in history, perfect for history enthusiasts.

So, what's the saying? Ich bin finisher! 🇩🇪
