Starting times & disciplines

Sunday, August 24, 2025

NOTE: Schedule and course are subject to change. The race will take place regardless of the weather, unless there is a weather warning from the German Weather Service.

To ensure a relaxed start for you, we`ll also be introducing starting blocks at the event "die Generalprobe". Please follow the signs at the entrance to the starting blocks. Faster runners should position themselves further forward in the lineup, while those who are not quite as fast should position themselves further back in the starting block.This will save you unnecessary jostling or annoying overtaking maneuvers in the first few meters.

Start & finish

The start and finish area for the Generalprobe is located at Schlossstraße in Berlin-Steglitz.
