Time is running out. If one of your goals is to run the Berlin Marathon in 2027, tomorrow is the last day to enter the bib lottery for the German race. The drawing is the method chosen by the organization to allocate spots due to the enormous demand that each year makes one of the major events on the international calendar.
The next edition will take place on Sunday, September 26, 2027 and will arrive with an important novelty: the change of the main sponsor. After 16 years linked with BMW, the German marathon will debut a new name with Generali as the new main sponsor, becoming the Generali Berlin Marathon.
The registration window for the lottery opened last October 1 and will close tomorrow, November 12. Runners who are selected will receive confirmation by email on the upcoming December 3. Participation in the draw is free and only those runners who secure a bib will have to pay the €215 registration fee.
The application can be submitted individually or in groups of two or three runners. In the latter case, all team members must have their own personal account and submit the joint registration to participate in the draw.
The bib price includes, among other services, a four-day public transport pass for zones A, B and C in Berlin, pacing service in all waves, and a high-quality poncho for crossing the finish line. The official adidas shirt carries an extra cost of 40 euros and the cloakroom service 5 euros.
