2022 Itinerary

Our travel packages give you the ideal chance to run a World Marathon Marathon while enjoying a trip away to Berlin. You will find a sample 3 night itinerary below.

Friday 23rd September 2022

Please make your own arrangements to fly to Berlin Brandenburg Airport (Berlin’s new and only airport) and transport from Berlin airport to your chosen hotel. We give full details of how to get around Berlin in our Final Instructions. We recommend pre-purchasing a Berlin City Pass. This allows you to travel on the overground/underground and buses throughout your stay. Berlin City Passes can be purchased for a variety of durations. This will save long queuing to purchase individual tickets. More information can be found here.

Sports Travel guides will be at the hotel throughout today to welcome you. Depending on your arrival time today, you may have time to head to the marathon expo to collect your bib number. Our guide will accompany those who have arrived on the morning flights.
