Hello,
I consider participating Berlin marathon, that will take place ob 30/9 this year.
Most of the details are written clearly in Berlin marathon site.
I’ve two questions:
– What is the place , where the rewards (including the rewards for the categories) ceremony was done last year?
– I’ve heard that a breakfast for the marathon runners is done one day before the
event itself. Can I get some details/link about it?
The same about the pasta party
Thank you

I will be staying in Gormannstrasse, and need to leave this address on Saturday September 24. It seems that Gormannstrasse is completely surrounded by the route of the marathon. Will there be any restriction driving out on September 24

Please advise me of the date for the 2012 Berlin Marathon
Hello,
Maybe you have the date. However, folllowing my check, the 2012 Berlin
marathon will take place on suday 30/9.
Usually it is done in the beginning of the last week of September.
Your sincerely
Hello,
Following my previous reply.
Usually, the Berlin matathon is done on sunday in the last week of September.
Now it is not very difficult to calculate the exact date.
For example in 2012, the “last” sunday in the last week of September will take
place on 30/9 – Therefore this is the marathon date.
Your sincerely
