History

Image:Eliud Kipchoge in Berlin.jpg running world record (2:01:09) at the 2022 Berlin Marathon. His 4th of record 5 wins.]]

The Berlin Marathon was established in 1974 by Horst Milde, a baker and running enthusiast in the city. The race had 244 finishers; 234 men and 10 women, and was won by Günter Hallas and Jutta von Haase in times of 2:44:53 and 3:22:01 respectively. In 1977, Christa Vahlensieck established a new women's world record at the Berlin Marathon, running 2:34:47. Four years later, the race started outside the Reichstag for the first time, by which time it had grown to 2,583 finishers, making it the largest city road race in Germany. The following year, before German unification, some East Germans secretly ran the race, registering under false names to avoid recriminations from the East German secret service. In 1989, a children's race was added to the event, and eight years later an inline skating marathon was contested.{{cite web |url=https://www.runnersworld.com/races-places/a23085728/berlin-marathon-history |title=The Record-Breaking History of the Berlin Marathon |last=Robinson |first=Roger |work=Runner's World |date=25 September 2019 |access-date=7 July 2020}}{{cite web |url=https://www.bmw-berlin-marathon.com/en/news-center/news/detail/countdown-is-starting-looking-back-into-the-history-of-the-bmw-berlin-marathon/ |title=Countdown is starting: Looking back into the history of the BMW BERLIN MARATHON |publisher=BMW BERLIN MARATHON |date=9 January 2013 |access-date=7 July 2020}}

In 1998, Ronaldo da Costa set a new men's world record, the only South American to hold a marathon world record. Two years later, one of the race's pacemakers, Simon Biwott won the race, after one of the favourites had pulled out in the second half of the race. In 2001, Naoko Takahashi became the first woman to run a sub-2:20 marathon, completing the Berlin Marathon in 2:19:46. The race had continued to be the venue of world records; between 2003 and 2018, seven men's records were set at the race; the most recent remains as the current world record time; Eliud Kipchoge's 2:01:39.

The event was held in mid-September in 2000 and 2018, because of a conflict with the Women's Olympic Marathon, and due to German Unity Day preparations, respectively.{{Cite news|title=Tag der Deutschen Einheit verdrängt Berlin-Marathon|url=https://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/grossveranstaltung-ausnahmsweise-mitte-september-tag-der-deutschen-einheit-verdraengt-berlin-marathon/23018044.html|access-date=2020-12-12|newspaper=Der Tagesspiegel Online|language=de}}

The 2020 edition of the event was prohibited from being held on its originally scheduled dates due to the coronavirus pandemic,{{Cite web|title=Event Update|url=http://www.scc-events.com/en/corporate/events/event-update.html|access-date=2020-12-12|website=www.scc-events.com}} and was eventually cancelled once it was clear that it would not be possible to hold it at a later date in 2020.{{Cite web|date=2020-07-01|title=BMW BERLIN-MARATHON: Event update|url=https://www.bmw-berlin-marathon.com/en/your-race/event-update/|access-date=2020-12-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200701133145/https://www.bmw-berlin-marathon.com/en/your-race/event-update/|archive-date=2020-07-01}} All registrants were given the option of either transferring their entry to 2021 or obtaining a refund.

The 2024 race was the 50th anniversary of the Berlin Marathon. The field size was significantly larger than previous editions of the race, and it set a world record for the most finishers in a marathon. However, that world record was eclipsed by the New York City Marathon two months later.{{Cite web |last=Rock |first=Brian |date=2024-10-05 |title=The 2024 Berlin Marathon: Three Interesting Data Insights (Plus More) |url=https://runningwithrock.com/berlin-2024/ |access-date=2024-12-07 |website=Running with Rock |language=en-US}}

The course within the metropolis starts and finishes near the Brandenburg Gate. Due to the division of the city, the marathon events before 1990 were limited to West Berlin only. On 30 September 1990 athletes were able to run through the Brandenburg Gate for the first time and since then, the course has covered both halves of the unified city. It was reported that a great many of the runners had tears in their eyes as they ran through the gate.

Nowadays, after leaving Brandenburg Gate, the course passes Charlottenburg, around Tiergarten, along Moabit and Mitte, and then south to Friedrichshain. After that, it winds west between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, through Schöneberg, over to Friedenau and Zehlendorf, before turning north back toward the city's center. Looping above Schöneberg, the course comes full circle as it finishes through the Gate.{{cite web

There have been two other major international marathons in Berlin.

A marathon in Berlin on 14 Oct 1973 was won by Ulrich Hutmacher (GER) with a time of 2:19:32, but that race is not considered to be part of the Berlin Marathon series.{{Cite web |title=Berlin Marathon |url=https://www.arrs.run/HP_BerMa.htm |access-date=2024-10-09 |website=www.arrs.run}}

Sponsors

There have been several title sponsors in the race's history. From 1974 until 1989 it was just the Berlin Marathon. In 1990, it was the Yanase Berlin Marathon. In 1991 and 1992 it was the Canon Berlin Marathon. It reverted to simply the Berlin Marathon from 1993 until 1997. It then became the Alberto Berlin Marathon in 1998 and 1999. A new title sponsor changed the name to the real,- Berlin Marathon from 2000 to 2010. Since 2011 it has been called the BMW Berlin Marathon.

Finishers

In terms of finishing athletes, Berlin is one of five world-wide marathons with more than 50,000 finishers, along with the New York City Marathon, Chicago Marathon, London Marathon and Paris Marathon.{{Cite web |last=Rock |first=Brian |date=2024-10-05 |title=The 2024 Berlin Marathon: Three Interesting Data Insights (Plus More) |url=https://runningwithrock.com/berlin-2024/ |access-date=2024-12-07 |website=Running with Rock |language=en-US}}

A wheelchair section was first officially held at the Berlin Marathon in 1981. Only men competed that year. The wheelchair race typically starts earlier in the day before the runners and power walkers.

Heinz Frei is the most successful athlete, with twenty wins in the men's race. The next most successful athlete is Manuela Schär, who has won the women's race six times. Both these athletes also hold the records for time, with Frei setting the men's race record of 1:21:39 in 1997 and Schär setting the women's race record of 1:36:53 in 2018.[https://www.bmw-berlin-marathon.com/fileadmin/marathon/0_files/SCC_BMW_EH_2018_6_3_WEB.pdf 2018 Berlin Marathon].
