Join the pulse of the German capital at the GENERALI BERLINER HALBMARATHON 2026, one of the world's largest and most prestigious half marathons, returning to the streets of Berlin on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Known for its electric atmosphere, diverse field, and lightning-fast course, this event is a magnet for elite athletes, wheelchair racers, handbikers, and inline skaters alike. Whether you are aiming for a world-class time on Berlin's notoriously flat asphalt or simply looking to soak up the "unique spirit" of the city’s cheering crowds, the 2026 edition promises an unforgettable journey through the historic heart of Berlin.
The 2026 race weekend introduces exciting new features, including the premiere of the Garmin BERLIN MILE on Saturday, March 28. This high-speed sprint covers the final 1.609 km of the original half marathon course, offering a rush of emotion and tradition for all skill levels. Additionally, the HALBMARATHON EXPO makes a grand return to its traditional home at Flughafen Tempelhof on Friday and Saturday, providing a historic backdrop for race kit collection and the latest in endurance sports innovation. From the inline skaters who kick off the action on Sunday morning to the final finishers crossing the line under the Brandenburg Gate, the event is a masterclass in athletic logistics and urban celebration.
Beyond the finish line, the celebration continues at the official after-race party at Festsaal Kreuzberg, where participants and fans can toast their achievements alongside top international athletes. Organized by SCC EVENTS, the marathon is built on a foundation of sustainability and inclusivity, featuring dedicated Kids & Youth programs and comprehensive hydration systems to ensure peak performance for every runner. Secure your spot in this world-class race to witness why Berlin remains the global gold standard for half marathons. Prepare to be carried by the momentum of a city that never stops running—your Berlin journey begins at the starting line on March 29.
