2026 BMW Berlin Marathon
The Parkinson's Foundation is an official charity partner for the 2026 Berlin Marathon. By signing up to run as a Parkinson's Champion you commit to raising funds and awareness for the Parkinson's Foundation, and in return you get access to a free entry (bib) to the race in addition to fundraising support and team benefits. You can learn more about our program at Run4PD.org.
Our official Parkinson's Champions Berlin team is full for 2026 and we are not currently accepting applications for 2027 yet.
More world records have been broken on Berlin's fast pavement than at any other marathon race in the world. 13 so far. More could follow. But that is not the only reason that makes the season highlight in the German capital one of the most popular running spectacles of the year. Over 50,000 finishers experience their very special moment when crossing the Brandenburg Gate just before the finish line, millions of spectators and 80 live bands celebrate the sport along the course. The international running community is a guest in the German capital at this special highlight.
If you have questions, send us an email at Run4PD@Parkinson.org. For more information about the race itself, visit the Berlin Marathon Homepage.
