What an amazing GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON we experienced on April 7, 2019. Under the best spring weather conditions, 29,757 runners and inline skaters completed the 21.0975 kilometres to the new finish at the Brandenburg Gate, after enjoying a fantastic sightseeing tour of the capital. Although Sifan Hassan from the Netherlands missed the women's targeted world record, she delivered a new course record in a strong 65:45 minutes. And Richard Ringer led the tough field of German runners, completing his first half marathon in 62:10 minutes to finish seventh. In this digital magazine you will find all the stories and the best photos and videos for the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON 2019.
There is no stopping now
There is no stopping now at the Ku‘damm! From the Kurfürstendamm - the popular shopping street - there is no stopping it: bands and spectators create a mood that makes the Berlin Half Marathon what it and his big brother - the BMW BERLIN MARATHON - are known for: party time! Cheer and roars and I keep hearing my name, which is on the start number, being called out. „Super, Natasha, you can do it!“ Even though I do not know anybody and nobody knows me, that pushes more than any energy gel could. I pass the Gedächtniskirche Memorial Church, head down Tauentzienstrasse to Potsdamer Strasse. Just before kilometre 14 the organisers provide another boost. This time actually in the form of a gel. 24
