It’s no secret that the Berlin Marathon course is fast. In fact, as of 2022, there have been 11 world records set on the flat, 26.2-mile loop around Germany’s capital. The last world record was set in 2018 by Eliud Kipchoge, who clipped off 4:38 average mile pace on his way to winning Berlin in a time of 2:01:39, shattering the previous record by one minute and 18 seconds.
Will there be another record this year? Here’s everything you need to know so you don’t miss the action.
