The Berlinathon is more than just a running series. It is an invitation to all running enthusiasts to rediscover Berlin in a new way. In 2026, the project brings together eight themed running events with a big summer finale at Tempelhofer Feld.

The Berlinathon spans a wide range of themes, showcasing the cultural diversity of the capital. Four cultural runs are dedicated to the themes of art, stage, food, and music, presenting Berlin in all its facets.
The Berlinathon kicks off on April 26, 2026, with the Art Run at the Academy of Arts on Hanseatenweg 10, where participants are welcomed by representatives of the institution. After receiving a small refreshment package and taking part in a group warm-up, the route leads participants to places where they can experience how art, history, and architecture shape public space. The routes through Tiergarten and the Hansaviertel pass by the Flora statue and the Amazon on horseback, through the Sculpture Park Against War and Violence, and across Moltke Bridge along the Spree to the House of World Cultures and back to the Academy. Along the way, there are several other artistic highlights hidden in the greenery of the Tiergarten. While running, participants have time to take a closer look and discover the stories behind these places.
The Art Run offers distances of 3 km, 7 km, or 11 km—each route inviting participants to see the city with new eyes: running, curious, and together.
After weeks of shared activity, the Berlinathon culminates on August 30 with a grand finale at Tempelhofer Feld—a summer celebration for everyone brought together by fun, community, and their city.
