Berlin returns on September 26, 2027, with Generali as title sponsor. The €215 ballot runs from October 1 to November 12, 2026, with results on December 3. That makes entry the first decision, before a hotel or flight. The flat course remains the attraction, but the organizer still labels its map as the 2026 route; wait for the 2027 update before fixing spectator stops.

Major race decision brief
Know the catch before you book the flight.
Four facts shape this weekend: entry, course load, the start-to-finish problem, and whether your crew gets a good trip too.
01 · Secure the bib
Ballot open
€215 entry. Ballot closes November 12, 2026; results December 3. No current USD conversion is asserted. Treat travel as refundable until your place and any qualification requirement are confirmed.
02 · Read the load
73 m climbing
Berlin is a flat city marathon with a finish near the Brandenburg Gate. The organizer currently shows its 2026 route as a reference while the 2027 map is prepared. The retained 73 m climbing estimate and venue pins are historical planning context, not a verified 2027 course or expo plan.
03 · Solve the base
Compact race geography
Start and finish sit within roughly 1 km. A central base can simplify race morning and reunion, but road closures still decide the useful side of the course.
04 · Pack the range
10–18°C
Historical rain signal: 35%. Use reviewed climate data for packing, then switch to the live forecast inside race week.
Crew fit is 5/5. Use the spectator guide to decide whether this is a shared city weekend or a runner-first operation.
Why we'd pick it
- The 73 m climbing estimate is useful for planning, not a verified pacing number.
- The ballot is open; apply before the published deadline and keep a backup race.
- A non-racing partner gets a real weekend here — 5/5.
- Race day usually sits 10–18°C, about 35% chance of rain.
