Support Free to Run by Running the 2022 BMW Berlin Marathon!
The 46th edition of the BMW Berlin Marathon will take place on the 25th of September 2022 and Free to Run is pleased to announce our participation as a charity partner!
The BMW Berlin Marathon is one of the 6 World Marathon Majors; it follows a spectacular route through historic Berlin, Germany finishing at the iconic Brandenburg Gate. The world record has been broken 11 times on the Berlin course, including the current Men’s record set by Eliud Kipchoge in 2018. As one of the flattest major courses in the world, the BMW Berlin Marathon attracts many runners aiming for their very own personal bests. Owing to its status as a fantastic race, entrance to the Marathon sells out every year and 2022 certainly won’t be an exception. Guarantee a bib by committing to run as part of the Free to Run team!
As a Free to Run Berlin Marathon Runner, you will receive a number of benefits including:
Guaranteed, complimentary entry for the 2022 BMW Berlin Marathon, valued at €150
Fundraising support to help you surpass your goal, including help setting up your personalized online fundraising page
An invitation to a dedicated Strava group with the Free to Run Berlin Marathon team. This group will be available for questions, training tips, fundraising support, and event logistics
