News

The GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON is much more than just a race. Days before the starting gun, the unique atmosphere of the event already unfolds at the HALF MARATHON EXPO—shaped by anticipation, encounters, and inspiration. But what makes the EXPO so special, and why has it become an essential part of the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON for many people?

With the Garmin BERLIN MILE, the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON is celebrating a very special debut: 1,609 meters packed with speed, emotion, and tradition. But what exactly makes this distance so unique?

Anyone running a half marathon knows how important proper hydration is. Over 21 kilometers, the body loses water and essential minerals that are crucial for performance and well-being. Many runners therefore use their own hydration systems in addition to the refreshment stations, allowing them to drink flexibly and without losing time at any moment.
