Real,- BERLIN-MARATHON
28 September 2008
Best described as fast, flat and fascinating, the Berlin Marathon route offers experienced runners the perfect chance to gather optimum speed and eclipse previous personal bests.
For first-timers and the less-experienced, it presents a steady and amenable course that doesn't make the task of completing the distance any more challenging than it actually is (fairly challenging never-the-less!).
Starting and finishing near the Brandenburg Gate and whisking runners past some of the city's most famous landmarks, the real,-Berlin Marathon boasts a field of more than 40,000 athletes and in excess of a million spectators lining the streets and thronging around the Reichstag.
First held in October 1974, with a pool of just 284 competitors, this year's race is anticipated to be among the biggest ever and, replete with live music, street stalls and a feast of food and drink, promises a vibrant festival atmosphere in one of Europe's most amazing cities.
As with all events, we urge runners to apply for their own place in the relevant ballot. If you are successful, you will benefit from all of the perks of TeamSIA membership but will have no minimum sponsorship obligation. Please visit www.real-berlin-marathon.com for details.
If you are allocated one of our guaranteed places, all we ask is that you raise a minimum of £500 in sponsorship.
