Double starter results:
It is possible to register for both the running and skating marathons as a so-called „double starter.” In order to do so, you must fill out both the running and skating forms and send them in together by post to the listed address. Please also mark the field „double starter” on both forms. The registration fee for the second event is reduced to 35 euros. There will be an extra result list for the double starters.

Please make sure your details can be clearly read!

Applications by telephone, fax, or e-mail will not be processed! Payment can only be made by direct debit or credit card. Any costs incurred due to incorrect payment information will be charged to the participant. Registrations will be considered on a first-come-first-served basis. For minors, the legal guardian must also sign the application. DLV registration forms will not be accepted.

If a registered participant fails to participate, he/she is only entitled to a refund of the organizational fee according to § 3 of the terms of participation. It is not permitted to pass on your start number to anyone else.

Registration confirmations will be mailed to participants in mid-August irrespective of when the registration form was received. That the registration has been received can be confirmed with the booking of the registration fee from your account. A list of all registered participants can be found online at: www.berlin-marathon.com

Limit of participation: 10.000 Skaters

Registration is possible until August 22, 2008 unless the limit has been reached earlier. No registrations will be accepted after August 22, 2008 (postmark).

All applications that arrive after the limit has been reached will be placed on an official waiting list for spots that may open up.

This is possible up until shortly before the race date. Online registration will close before the limit has been reached. Registration is not possible on race day on September 27, 2008!

In order to be able to use the Berlin public transportation system without constantly having to purchase a ticket, we recommend ordering a CityTourCard, which not only includes the public transit pass, but also offers discounts for over 30 tourist attractions. Your choice of the CityTourCard (regions AB or ABC for 2 or 3 days) will be sent out prior to the event.

The boulevard Straße des 17. Juni, between the Brandenburg Gate and the "Small Star" (Kleiner Stern)

Closing of the finish: 7 p.m. (time limit: 2:30 hours)

There will be tents available for changing and showering in the finish area.

Times will be measured exclusively using the ChampionChip. The ChampionChip is a plastic transponder that is attached to your running shoe and registers your personal time. The ChampionChip is used to keep times at about half of all running events in Germany and at all of the large marathons throughout the world.

The following options may be used:
 

You may also simply opt to keep the chip after the event. By registering with the rental option, you have also signed a contract to purchase after the end of the rental period, and after the event your account or credit card will be debited 25 euros, the difference between the rental fee (6 euros) and the cost of purchase (31 euros). This new procedure will end the previous practice of returning the chip deposit on race day. Please fasten the chip to your shoelaces (not with anything metal) – otherwise your time will not be measured.

Skaters progressing at a tempo that would not allow them to finish under 2:30 hours will be pulled from the race and brought by bus to the finish.

To insure that the pre-race and starting phases can be carried out safely, all participants will be divided into starting blocks according to their best times (which must be submitted). By starting the blocks one after another, each participant will have optimal individual conditions for starting. Participants with a personal best under 1:30 must include a copy of the certificate with their time (only from officially measured courses). The organiser reserves the right to accept or not accept a course.

The race numbers will be issued at the BERLIN VITAL Fall Expo from September 25 – 27, 2008 upon presentation of the registration confirmation. Race number distribution on race day is only possible until noon at the BERLIN VITAL Expo.

If you own a ChampionChip, please bring it with you to be registered/tested.

Each participant will also receive a clothing bag and a drinking bottle.

Everyone who ordered extra items (adidas shirts, pasta lounge, city tour) will have the respective removable coupons attached to their race numbers.

The adidas shirts and the pasta lounge coupons must be redeemed during the BERLIN VITAL expo. It will not be possible at a later time.

Fair sportsman-like behaviour is expected of all participants. Please keep to the marked route. The organizer will disqualify participants in the following cases: Leaving the course, missing several intermediate times, alteration of the race number. The race number must be worn on the chest.

All participants will receive a medal at the finish line (until the finish is closed). The stand for the medal engraving will be located near the preliminary certificates in the INLINE VILLAGE. Participants who prepaid for the engraving will have a mark on their race numbers. The engraving must take place on race day.

Preliminary certificates will also be available at the finish and via Internet. In early December, a personal certificate with the time and placing, as well as a result list will be automatically sent by mail.
