Return your thermal blanket
Please only use a thermal blanket if you are cold and really need it.
Please always return used blankets the numerous recycling helpers (labelled with a flag). This is the only way to turn it back into foil.
Use your own hydration system
Avoid cups by bringing your own hydration system and using our refill stations.
Otherwise, throw used cups into the specially labelled bins so that they can be returned to the cycle.
Offset your flight emissions
Many participants have to travel to and from the race by plane. By offsetting your flight emissions, you help to reduce the environmental footprint of the event.
Use public transport - free of charge!
On the day of the event, it is best to use public transport, which is free with your bib number (from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. in fare zone AB).
Travel by train
If you can, come to Berlin by train and use the most environmentally friendly way of travelling. Good to know: We have set up an event ticket with Deutsche Bahn for your discounted journey!
If you cannot travel by train, consider forming a carpool instead.
Run for a good cause
Register for the GENERALI BERLIN HALF MARATHON through one of our charity partners such as the WWF and combine your run with a fundraising campaign.
Donate clean clothing in good condition in the pre-start area
On race day, you can first put on your well-preserved running and training clothes as a warming layer and then hand them over to the Berliner Stadtmission (Berlin City Mission). This will benefit unhoused people.
Donate your worn-out, clean running shoes
Bring your worn-out, well-preserved running shoes to the EXPO and donate them to the Berliner Stadtmission (Berlin City Mission) at their stand. This will help people in need and unhoused.

GENERALI
Generali Germany has been our partner since 2018. The insurance group is part of the international Generali Group and thus also part of a company that is over 190 years old, its history and its heritage. In 2017, the company launched a new sponsorship strategy - “Generali moves Germany”.
The initiative aims to motivate people to lead active health and environmentally conscious lives. Taking part, not watching, is crucial here. In recent years, Generali has thus become one of the largest and most important sponsors in German running. Running promotes physical and mental health and thus has a preventive effect against numerous common diseases. Moreover, hardly any other sport can be practiced in such a resource-saving and environmentally friendly way. Together with the event organizers, Generali develops programs that make major events demonstrably sustainable: in the areas of environmental and climate protection and social commitment.
About 9 million customers are insured with the companies of Generali Germany, which include the brands Generali, CosmosDirekt and Dialog in the life, health and property/casualty segments. Generali's objective is to be a lifetime partner for its customers, offering innovative, individual solutions and services thanks to an excellent sales network in exclusive and direct sales as well as in the broker channel. Generali Germany is part of the "Germany, Austria and Switzerland" (DACH) business unit, which was newly created in 2022.
