Run through the Brandenburg Gate in one of the Abbott’s World Majors. Since its inception, this flat and fast event has attracted thousands of runners eager to take on the challenge.
More world records have been broken on Berlin's pavement than at any other marathon race in the world. But that is not the only reason that makes the season highlight in the German capital one of the most popular running spectacles of the year.
Over 50,000 finishers experienced their very special moment when crossing the Brandenburg Gate in 2024 and that could be you in 2025.
