2025: Preview

Over 40,000 people from 135 nations have registered. Among them are two of Germany’s most prominent runners, Gesa Krause and Richard Ringer. Krause is a two-time European champion in the 3000m steeplechase and won silver at the 2024 European Championships in Rome. Ringer, meanwhile, claimed the European marathon title in Munich 2022. In Berlin, both will put themselves to the test over 21.0975 kilometres. The 44th GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON promises to be a spectacular sporting event, kicking off the 2025 running season on the streets of the capital. In this digital event magazine, you’ll find everything you need to know about Germany’s biggest half marathon, which will take place on 6 April 2025 on an even more exciting course, including some entirely new segments. We’ll introduce the favourites, as well as a few inspiring individuals running with a special personal motivation. You will find all the key dates, the best photos from previous years, and a look ahead at what runners and spectators can anticipate on race weekend in Berlin. Plus, we’ll share plenty of tips for the race itself and suggestions for making the most of your time in the city.

The anticipation is

The anticipation is huge: when the starting gun is fired for the 44th GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON on 6 April, a record field will take to the course. And it‘s sure to be a fast race, too. Halfs series earn the title of „SuperRunner“ and receive an exclusive medal. The SuperHalfs series is certainly one reason for the numerous international participants. Athletes from over 100 countries will participate in this year‘s GENE- RALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON. With a female participation rate of over 41 percent, the event in 2024 was one of the running events with the highest percentage of female runners in Germany, a result that fills us with pride and that we aim to expand upon. We would like to highlight our commitment to sustainability under the motto „Follow the GREEN LINE“.

initiatives. The expo not only offers an exciting program with many offerings but also opportunities to actively engage and learn more about environmental protection. This year, the HALF MARATHON EXPO will be held at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds and no longer at the former Tempelhof Airport. SCC EVENTS would like to thank all partners such as Generali and adidas, as well as over 1,500 volunteers, without whom such an event would not be possible. A special thanks goes to the Berlin Senate and authorities for their trust, enabling us to host a peaceful major sports event and represent Berlin internationally. We also extend our sincere thanks to the Berlin Exhibition Grounds for hosting the bib number collection and representation. Without their last-minute assistance, this high-profile event with enormous added value for Berlin would not have been possible. On behalf of SCC EVENTS, we wish you success and plenty of enjoyment surrounding the GE- NERALI BERLIN HALF MARA- THON. Christian Jost & Jürgen Lock Managing Directors of SCC EVENTS - 9 -
