 Berlin MarathonSeptember 30, 2012Guaranteed Discounted Entry In 1990, the Berlin Marathon hosted over 25,000 runners who for the first time ran through Brandenburg  Gate and into East Berlin. Runners were crying while they stopped to kiss the ground. It was an emotional run for all. Since then, runners have continued to flock to Berlin each year to experience one of the best organized marathons in the world. They will fill the coveted starting spots soon. The event closes entries about mid-February with 40,000 runners. Marathon Tours has a block of guaranteed entries. The course is flat and fast and set another world record this year when Patrick Makau broke Haile Gebresalassie's time of 2:03:59 and ran a 2:03:38. The course also produced the first sub 2:20 marathon by a women, Naoko Takahashi, in 2001. Definitely a PR course. The Hotel Concorde Berlin, is a four star hotel in the center of the city and about two miles from the start and finish line.
