In 1990, the Berlin Marathon hosted over 25,000 runners who for the first time ran through Brandenburg Gate and into East Berlin. Runners were crying while they stopped to kiss the ground. It was an emotional run for all. Since then, runners have continued to flock to Berlin each year to experience one of the best organised marathons in the world, and one of the Six Marathon World Majors.
We can't wait to be there at the end of this month!

We sent a fantastic group of runners to the Tokyo Marathon earlier this year, including Hayley and Paul 😃
"We were lucky enough to gain entry to the Tokyo marathon with Marathon Tours and had a fantastic time. The hotel was lovely, transport to and from the event was super efficient and the marathon after party was a cultural extravaganza! The marathon course was flat and fast and the Japanese volunteers were so gracious and encouraging. After the marathon we rewarded ourselves with another week exploring the rest of this amazing country and could have easily stayed longer. Do yourself a favour and put the Tokyo marathon on your bucket list!" - Hayley
We're so happy you enjoyed your trip with us - bring on the next one!
That’s a wrap for the London Marathon 2024! A huge congratulations to all participants but a special mention to our amazing group with all runners and our elite wheelchair athlete completing this event! Well done to you all. Who’s in for London 2025??
