Berlin. On 24th September, the German capital will host the fastest 42 kilometres on the international #running calendar for the 44th time: the BMW BERLIN MARATHON. No fewer than ten world records have been set at the biggest one-day sporting #event in Germany to date. BMW is title partner of the record #event for the seventh time. Around 70,000 participants compete in the marathon festivities, which draws around one million spectators along the route. The BMW BERLIN MARATHON is the highlight of the extensive ‘BMW Laufsport’, BMW’s #running commitment. As at all major marathon events in Germany, the BMW i3s (electricity consumption: 14.3 kWh/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km) will be in action as the official lead car.


“It is always a joy to see how tens of thousands of participants and a million spectators create an atmosphere on the streets that celebrates performance and dedication as much as the shared experience of an international sporting #event,” said Peter van Binsbergen, Head of Sales and Marketing at BMW Deutschland. “The BMW i3, the official lead car, and the plug-in hybrid BMW i8 are the peak of our efforts in the areas of sustainability, environmental impact and future viability. The BMW i cars combine efficiency and performance – a principle that also applies in #running.”


In addition to the enthusiasm of the residents of Berlin, the runners can look forward to ideal conditions and promoter SCC EVENTS GmbH’s perfect organisation. Title partner BMW will also play its part, and as well as the BMW i3s, will send a BMW i8 (combined fuel consumption: 2.1 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 49 g/km) as the safety car, seven timing cars and twelve BMW E-Scooter C evolutions (electricity consumption: 9.0 kWh/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 0 g/km) onto the track. On top of this, there will be a total of 40 additional organisational vehicles and shuttles.
