If you have been hearing about the Berlin Marathon 2025 and wondering why almost every runner dreams of breaking records there, you are not alone.
Even if you don’t follow athletics daily, this race has a special story. Berlin is not just another marathon.
It is the stage where legends like Eliud Kipchoge and Kelvin Kiptum proved to the world that human limits can be pushed further.
The secret behind Berlin’s fast course
So, what makes the Berlin Marathon stand out? The first thing is the course itself. Berlin’s roads are flat, smooth and wide.
That means runners don’t struggle with too many hills or sharp turns. For a marathon, even a small hill can drain energy, but Berlin offers one of the flattest routes in the world.
The weather is another significant advantage. Around late September, Berlin enjoys cool temperatures. Not too hot, not too cold. For runners, that is the perfect balance because the body doesn’t overheat.
The course also has very few twists and bends. This allows athletes to keep their rhythm steady, step after step. That’s why world records keep falling here. It’s not by chance – it’s because Berlin is built for speed.
Kenyan athletes and the Berlin legacy
For us in Kenya, Berlin feels like a second home for champions. Eliud Kipchoge broke the world record here.
Kelvin Kiptum, before his tragic passing, also drew inspiration from this very course. Now in 2025, all eyes are on Sebastian Sawe and the other Kenyan stars running today.
Even if you are not a sports lover, you can feel the pride. Kenya has carried the flag high in Berlin, year after year.
And when you hear commentators talk about the “fastest course in the world,” know that this is where our heroes keep shining.
So, the next time someone asks you why the Berlin Marathon is so special, you have the answer. It is the flat roads, the cool weather, the steady rhythm, and, of course, the history of greatness written by Kenyan feet.
