5 Reasons 'Why' You Should Participate in the Berlin Marathon

• Why not try setting a new Personal Best (PB) for yourself?
• You could run with your friends and family while having a good time.
• There's nothing wrong with feeling a sense of accomplishment after an intensive race!
• No better way to explore the city than on foot, immerse yourself within the city's atmosphere.
