EVENTSThe 35th real,- BERLIN-MARATHON on September 28th, 2008
On September 28, 2008, the sports metropolis of Berlin will be celebrating a fabulous anniversary. When over 40,000 athletes set off on the fastest marathon course in the world, cheered on by a million spectators and more than 70 live bands, the 35th real,- BERLIN MARATHON will once again captivate the German capital.
Participating in the 35th real,- BERLIN MARATHON means a lot more than just running the same 42 kilometres together with the fastest athletes in the world, however.

We are looking forward to having you join us for the 35th real,- BERLIN MARATHON, and we would like to wish you lots of success and fun in doing so.
