This edition has run
The 2026 Berlin Marathon is behind us
The next edition typically follows the race's pattern — Sunday in late September (usually the last Sunday; 2025 ran a week earlier). We'll flip this page to the new date (and the live start-time read for race week) when the race confirms its schedule. The history below keeps the long view.
Race-morning weather history
Typically cool (8-15C) and world-record friendly (Kipchoge 2018/2022, Assefa 2023); 2021 ran unseasonably warm (~25C). Wyndo tracks what this calendar slot has actually served up at the start hour — temperature, dew point, wind, and rain — including the years when weather canceled or disrupted the race, and reads the live forecast for the start once race week arrives.
The Berlin Marathon moves around the calendar year to year (Sunday in late September (usually the last Sunday; 2025 ran a week earlier)), so there's no fixed slot for year-by-year history. A table based on estimated dates could put the race in the wrong weather, so we don't show one. We're sourcing the real past edition dates by hand; the history lands here when they do.
