Every year thousands of runners take part in this event and fundraise for charity. While this is hugely beneficial to the charities it gives the runner advantages too, from supporting a cause that is close to your heart to securing a place in this highly sought-after event and much more.
Committing to raising money for charity gives you motivation to get outside and run, plus all of these extras which will elevate your event experience:
Charities know that raising money is all part of the challenge, which is why they provide advice, branded materials and a personalised online fundraising page to help the donations roll in. Think videos for social media, branded imagery and testimonials from previous runners.
Whether this is your first run or your fifth, you'll need to train for it! You'll receive an in-depth training plan with guidance, plus many charities have access to expert coaches and elite runners too, who can provide exclusive tips for your race preparation. Experts include Runningwithus, Full Potential and Olympic champs.
When you show up on the day, people need to be able to see clearly that you're supporting a charity. Most charities will give you a branded and personalised t-shirt or vest to run in on the big day, and often a training top too.
Overseas runners may find it reassuring to join a ready-made charity team who will help secure your place in the event, advise on travel, accommodation and put you in touch with teammates.
You may not be the only person running for that charity, so it's well worth meeting other runners through the charity's invite-only social media pages! You can organise meet up for training runs, chat with the charity's expert coaches and share tips and stories with each other to keep the motivation levels running high.
Charities buy places in this event, then give them to runners who agree to raise money for the charity – these are called charity places. Charity places are a great way to support a good cause and get a place in the event, especially if ballot entries are closed.
Marathon running and charity fundraising go hand-in-hand - which charity will you run for?
Your registration fee will be debited from your account upon successful allocation of a race entry. Please note that race entries are not transferable and non-refundable.

Great event. Flat and fast course, covering the sights of the city. Great medal to show for it. Dan J
As a World Marathon Major you expect the best and Berlin delivers. It's a great city, a really well organised race, aid stations with water, tea, fruit and gels are regular throughout. Music points all the time were really motivational. Richard B
Berlin Marathon is as special as you expect for one of the Majors. Kyla W
Running through the gate at the end as the sun beat down on me and the crowds roared is something I'll never forget. An incredible event, fast and flat. Ryan C
What an experience! Had the best time running at Berlin, seeing all the sights amongst the crowds. It was amazing running through Bradenburg Gate at the end .. Abby D
Berlin as a city and a race certainly lived up to my expectations. David W
OK so in short - EFFICIENT GERMAN EXTRAVAGANZA. Expo - SUPERB. Massive, pretty much given its going to be busy - plenty of stalls and representation. Flughafen Central was a unique and amazing venue and it’s literally one of the most interesting expo venues I’ve ever visited. Goodies - excellent. Rachel J
