There was a close finish in the women’s race. Kenyan Rosemary Wanjiru crossed the line in 2:21:05. She was just three seconds ahead of Ethiopia’s Dera Dida. Azmera Gebru of Ethiopia followed in third with 2:21:29.

Custom running medals 50th anniversary edition

In 2024, the 50th edition of the Berlin Marathon took place. Ethiopian Milkesa Mengesha won in 02:03:17. Among the women, the big favourite Tigist Ketema won in 02:16:42. With this time, she did not come close to her Ethiopian compatriot Tigst Assefa, who sensationally smashed the women's world record in 2023 (02:11:53). As many as 54,280 participants crossed the finish line and received their well-deserved custom running medals. The highest number of marathon finishers worldwide!

The specially developed anniversary logo was put on the front of the custom running medals with a unique silver border. It gave the medal a festive and elegant look. As usual, the Berlin skyline was depicted on the back of the custom running medals. The iconic buildings were depicted in great detail. Normally, the colours of the German flag are printed on the ribbon. The extra colours blue and yellow were used especially for the anniversary edition. Our company manufactured ribbon made from recycled PET. R-PET is an abbreviation for recycled polyethylene terephthalate. In other words, material made from collected (soft drink) bottles.

BMW Berlin Marathon

The Berlin Marathon has been part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors since 2006. The association of the six largest marathons in the world: Tokyo, London, Boston, Chicago, New York and Berlin. If you complete all six marathons as a participant, you will receive the illustrious Six Star Medal.

The Berlin Marathon is not only part of the six World Major Marathons, but is also one of the most sought-after marathons in the world. This is partly due to the beautiful route, which runs right through the German capital. Participants start in the green park the Tiergarten. The route then runs right through the city centre, passing historic buildings like the Reichstag and traversing well-known shopping streets like the Kurfürstendamm. The finish line behind the Brandenburg Gate guarantees sensational photos.

The Berlin Marathon is one of the fastest marathons in the world. Thanks to particularly few altimeters, Berlin is the ideal place for a personal record. Many straights and few turns ensure that participants can maintain a nice pace. The roads are wide and participants do not get in each other's way. Moreover, the weather in September is usually perfect. Consequently, more world records have been broken on Berlin's fast pavement than at any other marathon in the world: as many as 13 so far!

The organiser of the Berlin Marathon organises other appealing events in the German capital. PROM'ES also supplies the custom running medals for these events every year.

Berlin's fastest night, the adidas Runners City Night, is the summer highlight.
