I can't seem to find info on this. Does anyone know when it is and also is it diificult to get into. Is it a ballot like London? I would be grateful if someone could provide me with a useful link.
I understand that Berlin is a city well worth visiting.

Hi Flipperjane
According to the World Marathon majors website the Berline Marathon will take place on September 25th 2011. Entries are on a first come first served basis and they open about February.
I can't find it on the WMM web-site. Where is it DW20?
I recall for the 2009 race that entries opened in December as well.
Hi Guys
The following link http://worldmarathonmajors.com/US/series/article/24/ gives a date of Sunday 25th September 2011. Could someone post a message when entries become live as I would love to do it next year. Doing Great North Run the week before.

I'll post when entries go live but it's usually early December and it takes a few months to fill up. I've known people still enter in March!
Did this in 2009 - brilliant race and an even better city
Right that's the hotel booked. Family room for £70/night including breakfasts. Subway stop just outside
Happy Days
R Dave - have you got details of this hotel ?
Thanks
Chris

I wouldn't mind the hotel details as well if thats o.k? Is it a hotel you've used before?
Hotel is The All Seasons Hotel at Brunnenstrasse. I booked it off the Accor Hotel's website. The compnay I work for use them all the time so I collect the loyalty points. I didn't use any on this occasion so the price I paid is the general price available. The hotel is only 2* but was only built in the last couple of years so it should be OK and will no doubt be run with usual German efficiency.
The walk to the start is not too bad from there although you can get on the subway if you want. I stayed about 1km closer last year and walked it to the start.
Cheers for that R Dave, thats me booked up as well. Date of next years race has been confirmed on web-site http://www.real-berlin-marathon.com/events/berlin_marathon/2010/index.en.php registration opens this month.
Anyone doing London next year? Got my defered place from this year through the post this morning.
David
You in the same hotel DW20?
I'm doing London (GFA) although I haven't had the confirmation yet. But they cashed the bloody cheque as soon as I had sent it.
Same hotel The All Seasons Hotel at Brunnenstrasse.
My cheque was cashed soon after I sent it off in May. You should get your mag with conformaition any day now
VLM pack arrived yesterday
Finished 4th at Park Run and won my age group
It's all good
We went as a group of 4 blokes and had a room to ourselves. Plenty of room, good facilities, good location for some bars/restaurants and in a quiet/posh part of town. The staff are the most helpful you could wish for and value for money is the best.
Other runners were using the hostel and the UBahn station is only 50m away and easy to get anywhere, especially the HptBhf for the event itself.

Ran the Scottish Kilomathon 2day, was running a sub 2 hours until I slipped at 8K and twisted my ankle. Finished in 2 hrs 25. Totally pissed
Anyone have a good training session or a race 2day?
See entries are open Monday 18th October at noon. On a first come basis, 60 euro for first 10k. get in there early..!
money well spent I think
How exciting, I've also entered this morning!!!
Does anyone know if the timing chip is posted out in prior to the event or do you collect it in Berlin?
This will be my 2nd marathon after London 2009 so very excited and hoping the atmosphere will be just as good as in London!!
This is a great event, and t-shirt or no t-shirt I think the cost is pretty reasonable to be honest.
Jeny, you pick the chip up at the expo.
i entered this morniing and they sent my "Your online registration has been processed under the" email.
does this mean i'm in? apologies in advance for naive postings!!!
its just that the email says "pending the reciept of your final payment of 66 euros"....
Hey all..... newby here!
Me and my wife got in to this marathon first thing this AM. Stoked!!!!!
We are running all of the majors next year.....this is gonna be a great race!!

Hi all
I've done 4 HMs(5th next Sunday) and am booked to do my first marathon at Brighton next April.
I've always wanted to do an marathon overseas and basically want one which is flat,has a good turnout with some slower runners,good support and not too expensive to enter/get to/stay in
So does Berlin fit the bill and how do i go about getting a place
many thanks for any help/advice
Just log on to the "Real Berlin marathon" site and register. It's as simple as that. No ballot, no qualifying, no hassle. Just register and pay and your in.
Oh, book some accommodation as soon as your in as it gets full and expensive the longer you leave it.
