Did the Marathon in 2019
Great race for anyone. I was excited to do it and would do it again.The organization was lacking in the corrals... Why use plastic cups at all?? No need to make them recyclable.

Was good. Need to improve the finish line experience. It's obvious that you just want people to go away after they finish, which is understandable from a logical point of view but a little unfriendly. I imagine a time in the future when shivering athletes would be treated with a warming room filled with heaters and hot food and drinks and helpers to remove timing chips from shoelaces and various corporate tents giving away free products etc. Also the finishers T-shirts should be given out to people when they finish! Then they would at least have a dry shirt to change in to when they need it. Lots of the other aspects of the Berlin marathon were good.Did the Marathon in 2019
I might have enjoyed it a bit more without the rain but I suppose the organisers couldn't do anything about that!Did the Marathon in 2019
Amazing atmosphere and brilliant fast course. Quite busy and a little quiet on route but incredible race to run.Did the Marathon in 2019
Great race for a first-timer. Incredible support throughout. Got a bit jammed up at the start as I’m slow wave so better seeding and organisation of start waves we be beneficial.
