  • No! The pick up of the race material by another person is not possible, not even with a power of attorney! It is also not possible to send you the material.
    In the process of the race material pick up we also put on your athletes wristband, which is, together with your bib number, required to be allowed to enter the Start/Finish area. This will ensure that only registered participants take part in the BMW BERLIN MARATHON 2024.

    Please remove your athletes wristband after you have left the finish area on race day.


  • You can pick up all pre-booked items from the event collection together with your race material at the MARATHON EXPO 2024. The additional services you have booked will be displayed on a tear-off on your race number.
