The BMW is one of the world's greatest , with over 40,000 entries expected from 100 countries in 2017. The course is flat, asphalted, traffic-free and fast – in fact the fastest course in the world. In 2014 Dennis Kimetto of broke the world record (previously set in Berlin in 2013 by Wilson Kipsang) with a new time of 2:02:57. The world record has been broken three times in Berlin in the past five years.

The 45th edition of the race starts at 9.15am on the six-lane Strasse des 17 Juni and is run in an average annual temperature of 13oC / 55 oF. The course takes in some of East and West Berlin's great sights, before finishing close to the start area at the magnificent Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag. Showers, massage and refreshments are provided at the finish area. Please Note: The finish line closes after 6hrs 15mins.

The Breakfast Run (6K) on Saturday morning at 9.30am is also one of the best anywhere. The start is a 20 minute walk from the hotel. The run finishes in the historic 96,000-seater Olympic Stadium, scene of the 1936 Olympics and where the World Cup Final took place in 2006.

The City: Berlin has changed greatly since the Wall came down in 1989. In recent years historic sites like the Reichstag have been magnificently restored. Discover the sophistication of the West and savour the contrast with pre-unification East Berlin sites such as Unter den Linden, Alexanderplatz and Museum Island.
