Generali Berlin Half Marathon 2027

The Berlin Half Marathon course is fast, characterised by flat, wide roads with several long straight sections. The mix of live music, artists, and attractions is drawing more and more spectators to the course. And the Berlin streets are fast!

That is not only demonstrated by the top runners with numerous times under the magic one-hour limit, but also through the many personal bests in the ever-growing field of participants.

Getting to Berlin:
If you’re traveling to the Berlin Marathon, you’ll arrive at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), located 28 km from the city center. Opened in October 2020, BER replaced Tegel and Schönefeld Airports.
• Taxi: Taxi ranks are located directly outside Terminals 1 and 5. A taxi to central Berlin typically costs €45–€50 and takes around 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
• Train: The Airport Express (FEX) and regional trains run about four times per hour from the station under Terminal 1 to Berlin Central Station (Hauptbahnhof).

Getting around Berlin:
Berlin’s public transportation network is extensive and convenient, covering all corners of the city.

U-Bahn trains and buses: Tickets are available at multilingual machines in all S- and U-Bahn stations. Bus fares are paid directly to the driver.

S-Bahn trains: Lines S9 and S45 run from Terminals 1, 2, and 5 into the city centre.

Additional options: Taxis, rideshare services, and bicycles are widely available, offering flexible ways to explore Berlin before and after the marathon.
