Here Are the Results From the 2026 Berlin Marathon

Adola won in 2:02:51, while Assefa faded after passing 40K on world-record pace and still finished in 2:11:04.

  • On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Ethiopian runners Guye Adola and Tigst Assefa won the 52nd Berlin Marathon, with Adola finishing the men's race in an unofficial 2:02:50 and Assefa claiming the women's title in 2:11:04.
  • Organizers brought start times forward on Sunday to mitigate high temperatures that affected last year's marathon, allowing competitors to race in ideal autumn sunshine with little wind.
  • Following world record holder Sabastian Sawe's withdrawal, Adola triumphed in a competitive men's field, carving out a nine-second lead before the final 7km. The 35-year-old secured his second victory in the German capital after his 2021 win.
  • Assefa dominated the women's race, clinching her third Berlin title by more than five minutes. The 29-year-old was on pace to break the world record before suffering a late leg injury near the Brandenburg Gate.
  • More than 56,000 people were expected to participate in the 2026 Berlin Marathon, which continues to draw elite international distance runners to the major circuit despite record-breaking attempts proving elusive this year.
