Berlin Half Marathon 2027
The Berlin Half Marathon is the largest half marathon in Germany and one of the fastest races in Europe. Since its legendary course on the Straße des 17. Juni , between the Victory Column and the Brandenburg Gate, it attracts more than 36,000 runners from all over the world every April. Remarkably, the last 7 world records for the half marathon were all set on this ultra-flat, wind-sheltered course—an ideal setting for chasing a personal best. And as of 2026, Berlin is officially the 6th stage of the SuperHalfs series, a European circuit featuring the very best half marathons.
Planet-Tours organizes your trip to the Berlin Half Marathon, featuring a 4-star hotel in the heart of the city, daily breakfast, a guaranteed race bib, and on-site support from our team. Berlin in April is the place to be as spring awakens.
RACE INFORMATION
Event overview
The Berlin Half Marathon is a 21.097 km loop starting and finishing in the Straße des 17. Juni the monumental avenue that connects the Brandenburg Gate to the Victory Column. From the very start, the atmosphere is electric: thousands of runners set off beneath the trees lining the avenue, surrounded by spectators packed along both sides.
The route passes through iconic Berlin landmarks—Checkpoint Charlie, the Berlin Cathedral, the Berlin State Opera, and the banks of the Spree—before returning to the Straße des 17. Juni for a finish in front of the Brandenburg Gate. Every kilometer represents a piece of German and European history.
With a virtually flat course, a route well-sheltered from the wind, and meticulous organization, the Berlin Half Marathon is consistently ranked among the five fastest half marathons in the world. If you are looking to break your personal best over 21 km, Berlin in April is the event you cannot miss.
The SuperHalfs circuit: why is Berlin a key stage?
SuperHalfs is an international circuit featuring 6 of the best half-marathons in Europe: Berlin, Prague, Lisbon, Copenhagen, Cardiff, and Valencia. Runners who complete all 6 races within a 60-month period receive the SuperMedal upon finishing their final race—a collector’s medal that distinguishes the top finishers of the circuit.
Berlin is the 6th and final stop added to the circuit, and arguably the most spectacular. Planet-Tours also offers trips to the half-marathons in Prague, Copenhagen, Lisbon, and Cardiff for runners looking to collect multiple SuperHalfs stars in as few trips as possible.
