Despite its modern edge, the city has managed to retain its rich history, which is evident in its magnificent architecture and monuments, such as the Reichstag and the Brandenburg Gate. There is also evidence of the city’s troubled past in Cold War remnants such as the remains of the Berlin Wall, which divided the city until 1989. You will have a chance to take in Berlin’s historic sights as you speed past them on this fantastically fast course.

You will start and finish at the impressive Brandenburg Gate. The course heads through the city, past the Reichstag and Berliner Dom. You will be accompanied by more than a million spectators out in force to cheer you along the way, in addition to live music at over 50 locations. What more do you need to help you achieve a personal best?

We are not tied to any tour operator so you can make your trip as long or as short as you wish.  Book your own hotel and your own flight and go and explore this historic city.
