I haven't done Berlin, but lived there for a year. Hopefully, I'll do the marathon next year.

The whole city is flat and there will be plenty of sights to see on the course, which will hopefully make the course quite interesing for you. Good luck!

Welcome to RF Al.

Not done Berlin either but quite fancy doing it someday.

I ran Berlin in 2006. Ended up dropping out at halfway as it was very hot. Not the best organise race ever. Start was very cramped and the drink stations for such a hot day were terrible.
Not one I would go back to personally!

Hi AlClark,
here you can find the course with many different options:
( oops, can´t post the link cause I´m new ).
Have a look at gpsies com and search for the Berlin Marathon race course
Berlin is very flat and perfect for a fast race.
