100 miles Berlin
100 Miles Berlin is a German ultra marathon that has been taking place in Berlin since 2011 and whose route follows the course of the former Berlin Wall. According to the organizing association LG Mauerweg Berlin eV, it is intended to commemorate the victims of the Wall. It is always held on a weekend around August 13th, the day the Wall was built. The event did not take place in 2012 because a two-year cycle was planned at that time. There has been an annual sequence since 2013. After the 2014 run, the name "Wall Race" was added to emphasize the memory of this sporting event.
In addition to individual runners, relay teams are also represented. 2, 4 or 10 plus relays (10 to 28 team members) are possible. The time limit for individual runners is 30 hours, for relays 27 hours are specified.
route
The route largely corresponds to the previous course of the Berlin Wall with a distance of 100 miles (160.9 km). There is a change of direction every year. The Berlin Wall Trail is a largely flat and paved cycle and hiking trail. The start has been in the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg since 2014 . From there, the route initially leads north to Hennigsdorf , then west to Potsdam . This is followed by the southern section up to Adlershof . Here the route bends in a northerly direction and slowly approaches well-known highlights such as the East Side Gallery , Checkpoint Charlie , Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag . After reaching Bernauer Strasse and the Berlin Wall Memorial , the destination will be reached again in the Jahn Sports Park. This description is the route from 2019 (counterclockwise). There are a total of 27 refreshment points (VP) at a distance of 5 to 8 kilometers along the route.
