“In the context of the coronavirus pandemic, our team had to be patient and think about the many different options for holding a marathon in 2020. Alas, no matter how hard we try, it is impossible to hold the Berlin Marathon this year. Fun, joy, health and success - these associations should trigger our race. No one can guarantee this at the moment, ”the organizers said.

The Berlin marathon is canceled for the first time in 46 years of history. The race was supposed to take place on September 26 and 27.

Earlier it was reported that the anniversary New York marathon was canceled due to coronavirus.
