2026: Preview

More than 40,000 runners from 134 nations have registered for the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON 2026. The 45th anniversary edition promises to be a huge running celebration on the streets of Berlin and a fantastic start to the 2026 running season. Among the 40,000 participants are also several German elites aiming for top placements and fast times. The most promising among them is Amanal Petros. The German record holder in both the half marathon (59:31 min) and the marathon (2:04:02) could secure the first German victory since 1993. In this digital event magazine, you will find all the information about Germany’s largest half marathon, which will take place on March 29 on an even more attractive and fast course through Berlin.

Plus, plenty of tips for the race itself and ideas for your individual supporting program in Berlin.

The GENERALI BERLIN HALF

The GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON 2026 is an anniversary race. It was held for the first time in 1981—45 years ago. Nearly 1,000 runners participated in what was then East Berlin, the capital of the GDR. By 1985, around 70,000 were said to have taken part, and in 1987, during Berlin’s 750th anniversary, even 100,000. Eyewitnesses from that time tend to view these figures as GDR propaganda. LOOKING BACK & AHEAD What is certain, however, is that more than 40,000 runners will take part in 2026. We look back on 45 years of half marathon history and forward to the running festival that will take place across Berlin on the last weekend of March.
