The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON is one of the world's most renowned sporting events. The success of this traditional event truly depends on its participants. In existence since 1997, the Jubilee Club is a way to pay respect, thank and unite all runners, wheelchair athletes and hand cyclists who have successfully completed the BERLIN-MARATHON in one discipline at least 10 times. Membership is free of charge and offers its community numerous benefits, but it is not automatic.
The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON awards a special green bib number to its members. This special bib number is reserved for you for life, so you can wear it again and again at the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON, as well as at the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON, which is sure to attract some extra cheers.
It takes a lot of motivation and discipline to join this elite circle! You deserve our greatest respect!
Jubilee Club benefits
As a member of the Jubilee Club, in the RUN discipline you do not have to take part in the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON race entry lottery. You have a guaranteed race entry every year.
However, this does not exempt you from registering regularly for the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON → more information
The bib number has a green or pink background, depending on the discipline, to clearly distinguish Jubilee members from the rest of the field and make them easily identifiable to spectators.
Jubilee bib numbers will be allocated on a first come first served basis. Please understand that personal preferences cannot be taken into account. During the MARATHON EXPO, you will receive your Jubilee bib number at the special bib number pick up for Jubilee members at the Jubilee counter, which will be labelled accordingly.
In the Jubilee Club Lounge at the MARATHON EXPO, you can have a back bib number printed out with your name and the number of BERLIN-MARATHON races you have already finished. The privilege of a back number is only reserved for Jubilee Club members and draws additional attention to you on the course.
All new Jubilee members will receive a special certificate for their 10th participation and a green Jubilee shirt. You will also receive a membership card which will give you access to the exclusive Jubilee Lounge during the MARATHON EXPO.
If you have completed the BERLIN-MARATHON 20, 25, 30, 35 or 40 times in one discipline (as a runner, handbiker,wheelchair athlete or inlineskater), you will receive a free entry for the following year. You will receive your access code, registration details and a special jubilee certificate automatically and separately by email.
The Jubilee Lounge is a separate room on the MARATHON EXPO site as part of the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON. You can gain access to the lounge with your Jubilee membership card. Simone, Martin and Thomas will be there to welcome you in their function as department heads and contacts for all questions relating to the Jubilee Club.
The Jubilee Lounge is also a meeting place for the marathon scene, where the international Jubilee community can meet and mingle over snacks and drinks. The relaxed atmosphere is a great place to unwind before the action on Sunday. As a special bonus for stopping by the Jubilee Lounge, you will be able to pick up your back bib number with your name and the number of races you have completed at the BERLIN-MARATHON. This "extra bonus" is reserved for members of the Jubilee Club.
Registration for the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON
Membership does not exempt our Jubilee members from registering for the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON every year. We will automatically send an email to all running members with a valid user account an e-mail with all the important information for online registration. Please also check your spam/junk folder.
For current reasons: The BERLIN MARATHON Jubilee Club membership has no influence on race entries at the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON. All membership benefits relate exclusively to the BMW BERLIN MARATHON.

Jubilee Club Regulations
Accepting the current Jubilee Club regulations is a necessary condition of membership. Already active Jubilee members must confirm the Jubilee Club Regulations via their user account, if they have not already done so. Actively rejecting the Jubilee Club Regulations will deactivate your membership. You will lose all the benefits of the Jubilee Club. Subsequent approval is possible at any time under the menu item ‘Jubilee Club’ in your user account.
In the case of changes or adjustments, you will be asked for confirmation again on the start screen of your user account.
Since 2021, the BERLIN-MARATHON Jubilee Club is also active on Facebook. This means that you will be able to chat with your fellow Jubilee Club members outside of the Jubilee Lounge at the EXPO.
With slightly more than 400 members, the group is still quite small, but it is growing steadily. The group welcomes all newcomers. Pass it on ; )
