The GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON was the first really big running event in Germany after the long Corona break. More than 15,000 participants participated in the 21.0975 km race on August 22, 2021. Because everyone was either vaccinated against Covid19, recovered from the disease, or had proof of a negative PCR test, the run was also a safe event along a super-fast course that passed all the major landmarks—with the start and finish close to the Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column. In this digital magazine, you'll find the best pictures and most exciting stories from the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON 2021, which celebrated the race's 40th anniversary and ended with a new course record for the women.
Marathon nearly a year
Marathon nearly a year ago had more participants than the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON. The anniversary edition of Germany‘s largest and highest-class race over the exact distance of 21.0975km took place about a year and a half later than planned. Originally, the 40th GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON was set for April 2020. But at that time, the race had to be canceled due to the pandemic situation, just as it was this spring. Now the runners celebrated their return to the streets of the German capital. Fist bumps and wristbands as proof of vaccination, negative test or recovered status: The fact that there is a pandemic was noticeable, but the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON showed that big running events are not only possible during COVID, but can also be a lot of fun
