Marathon van Berlijn 2018 interactive

September 16, 2018 - Met start en finish bij de Brandenburger Tor, trekt de Marathon van Berlijn meer de 40.000 atleten en meer dan een half miljoen toeschouwers van over de hele wereld. Het jaarlijkse evenement is onderdeel van de World Marathon Majors, en menig wereldrecord is op het snelle vlakke parcours van Berlijn gelopen.

Kenyans Eliud Kipchoge and Wilson Kipsang head the field this year, aiming to eclipse the current world record time of 2:02:57 set by their compatriot Dennis Kimetto in 2014. Both will face tough competition from half-marathon record holder Zersenay Tadese of Eritrea, who is making his Berlin Marathon debut.

Ethiopia’s Tirunesh Dibaba heads the women’s field with a personal best of 2:17:56, which she achieved with a second-place finish in London 2017. Dibaba, the third fastest women’s marathon runner of all time, will target Paula Radcliffe’s 15-year-old world record of 2:15:25, which was also set in London, if conditions are favourable in Berlin. Reigning Berlin champion Gladys Cherono and experienced two-time winner Edna Kiplagat, both from Kenya, will also be competing for medals in Berlin.
