51. BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2025

Next Sunday the time has finally come: the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON kicks off, and the whole city is buzzing with anticipation for this sporting highlight. But this year, there’s an extra challenge – temperatures on race day are expected to rise significantly, in some places up to ten degrees higher than in the days before. For runners, that means: extra caution and smart heat management are essential.

At this year’s BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, almost 80,000 participants from 160 nations are expected – including runners, wheelchair athletes, handcyclists and skaters. Among runners alone, 55,146 people will take part.

For the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON from September 20 to 21, organizer SCC EVENTS expects well over 50,000 athletes from more than 160 nations. Among the runners, the national and international elite of the world’s best will gather in Germany’s capital. In the men’s race, the starting field includes Sebastian Sawe, Milkesa Mengesha, and Gabriel Geay.
