The Berlin Marathon is the next in line in international running events. It is one of the most important running events in the world.

Unlike the Moscow Marathon, there is only one variant of the distance – 42.2 kilometers. The route is planned so that athletes will run past all the main attractions of the German capital. The athletes start from the Great Tiergarten Park and finish at the Brandenburg Gate.

There are quite a lot of people willing to run the Berlin Marathon, so the organizers hold a lottery: the winners will be able to buy tickets to participate in the race. There are other conditions that allow you to join the marathon.
