Berlin Half Marathon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Berlin Half Marathon is an annual half marathon race held in early Spring in Berlin, Germany. The race was first held in 1984. A total of 23,799 runners took part in the half marathon in 2010.[1] This number grew to 25,500 participants for the 2011 event.[2]

A number of other events have been held on the same day at previous editions: throughout the 1980s a marathon and 20 kilometres fun run were held. The race currently hosts a half marathon inline skating race on the same day.

The event is sponsored by Vattenfall, a Swedish energy company.[2]
