![]() I chose gear check, my sister chose poncho. Also, anyone who selected poncho is NOT allowed to take a mylar blanket. In Berlin the walk to gear check is similar to the walk to pick up your poncho. At the New York marathon a lot of people choose the ponchos because it’s such a long walk to gear check. Random bit of trivia, the bib numbers are different ranges for runners who chose poncho vs gear check. Runners who selected Gear Check will be provided a clear plastic bag when they pick up their bib. The Berlin marathon is a loop so this makes gear check simpler, you don’t have to worry about a cut-off time for dropping off your bag on race day. If you do gear check, you get a mylar blanket at the finish line and you get to check a bag in the start/finish area. There’s one other rather unique way to guarantee a bib, if you do the inline skate the day before the marathon, then you get a guaranteed bib for the marathon the following year. Just like the other marathon majors there are tours and charity partners, so if you are willing to pay for a tour, or raise several thousand dollars for a charity you can get a guaranteed bib. Female runners up to 44 years (born 2005 to 1979): under 3:00 hours – Female runners up to 59 years (born 1978 to 1964): under 3:20 hours – Female runners over 60 years (born 1963 and older): under 4:10 hoursĪre there other ways to get a guaranteed bib?.Male runners up to 44 years (born 2005 to 1979): under 2:45 hours – Runners up to 59 years (born 1978 to 1964): under 2:55 hours – Runners 60 years and older (born 1963 and older): under 3:25 hours.To register as a “fast runner” in the 2023 Berlin marathon the required times were There are qualifying times you can use to get a guaranteed bib for Berlin, but they are tougher than Boston. I entered the lottery three times, each time as part of a team, so when I finally got in, I had someone to share the experience with me. Just make sure everyone selects the team option. When you enter the lottery as a team you either all get bibs, or none of you get bibs. One of the things I love about the Berlin marathon, is if you have a friend you want to run with, you can enter the lottery as a team of 2-3.
