2025: Review

The 44th GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON was a hot race in cold weather. A total of 42,667 athletes from 135 nations registered for Germany’s largest and most spectacular half marathon and its associated events. This now places the event among the largest half marathons in the world. From an elite sport perspective, it was also a record-breaking race: Amanal Petros improved his own German half marathon record to 59:31 minutes, becoming the first German to break the one-hour barrier. Ethiopia’s Fotyen Tesfaye smashed the course record, running the fifth-fastest time ever recorded worldwide with 63:35.

TOP GERMAN: ESTHER

TOP GERMAN: ESTHER PFEIFFER - 80 -

Always moving forward Esther Pfeiffer was the fastest German woman at the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON, finishing seventh overall. The national field was so strong that race director Mark Milde referred to it as “an unofficial German championship.” The 27-year-old improved her personal best by 34 seconds to 69:15 in Berlin - a result that may have surprised some, but it is the natural outcome of her consistent rise. Esther Pfeiffer, who is married to 2:07 marathoner Hendrik Pfeiffer, is coached by her husband. Under his guidance, she has progressed from the national to the wider European elite. At the start of April, her Berlin performance placed her 12th on the European season’s best list. - 81 -
