Berlin Marathon preparations and traffic disruptions

Overview

Preparations for the 52nd BMW Berlin Marathon, scheduled for September 26 and 27, 2026, have led to significant logistical and security measures. The event is expected to host over 56,000 participants and hundreds of thousands of spectators.

To manage the scale of the race, Berlin Police are planning a large-scale operation, noting that over 800 officers were deployed during the previous year. Authorities have also implemented a ban on knives and weapons in specific areas along the route to ensure public safety.

Road closures are impacting major districts, including Moabit, Friedrichshain, Neukölln, and Schöneberg. Specifically, Straße des 17. Juni, which serves as the start and finish area near the Brandenburg Gate, is currently closed and will remain partially restricted until October 1.

Other local disruptions in Berlin include a bicycle parade around the Bundestag and City West, as well as asphalt work on the A111 near Hennigsdorf.
