Culture Meets Running
The Berlinathon is more than just a run - it is a unique fusion of culture and community. It's an inspiring challenge for runners of all levels, from absolute beginners to long distance lovers.
From the five cultural runs to the tipBerlin and The Berliner Magazine program to the grand finale on 14 September 2025: the entire festival and the final run were a success.

What to expect
On the last Sunday of April, we start with the first Kulturlauf on Tempelhofer Feld. As with all subsequent runs, you can expect different routes, options - and one or two surprises. This time with the motto Running.
On the last Sunday in May, the Art-Kulturlauf is on the program. In cooperation with the Berlinische Galerie, inspiring running routes await you - and on top of that, you get discounted admission to the gallery.
Berlin is Germany's cultural capital for a reason.
In addition to art, culinary delights and music, the city has around twice as many Stages like any other in Germany. This year: the Deutsches Theater and the Theater im Palais - with a very special highlight: a run through the middle of the theater.
After sport and Art we now finally come to the Food-Month: Eat, Comida, Mangare FUTTERN!
From food trucks to wholesale markets, pop-up restaurants and popcorn machines, we taste everything!
In August, the Berlinathon Kulturlauf is dedicated to the theme of Music. Between the running track and urban space, movement meets sound: whether classical tones, electronic rhythms or urban soundscapes - the musical spectrum is as diverse as Berlin itself.
After months of entertainment and physical exercise, we're really going all out with the big Berlinathon festival. Bring along your family (with kids!) and friends - everyone is welcome.
In six runs, we'll show off our new running skills. Timekeeping is strictly forbidden, but cheering is obligatory.
