Berlin Marathon sold out on 8th December by the look of things
I thought this was my one out but thinboshi said try the charity places. So in a half hearted attempt to fail I chose a smaller one and didn't pledge a lot. They phoned me yesterday I have a place sigh  Please can someone chalk up flight dates hotels etc. Oh and my running diary looks like Hopkins diary from last year. Awesome I will look at flights hotels next week. Good man. |

Where you getting all this detail from? I don't remember seeing it on the site, and haven't anything from them... from the main marathon site Race numbers have to be collected at the BERLIN VITAL Expo from September 27th – until 29th upon presentation of the original registration confirmation. Those who own a ChampionChip must bring it along to be registered and tested. Everyone who ordered extra items (adidas Finisher shirts) will have the respective coupons on their race numbers. The coupons for the adidas shirts must be redeemed during the BERLIN VITAL Expo. It will not be possible at a later date. In addition, each participant will also receive a clothing bag and a sponge. Race numbers will not be distributed on race day. expo info is here http://www.berlin-vital.de/english/2012/fall/home/index.html |

It definitely works in the same way as London does in terms of having to go and get your number? There's no option to get it sent to you (you can't at London, and I'd assumed it would be the same for Berlin, but thought it might possibly be different)?

guess that depends on how london works
I'm assuming that in the quote in my post above when they refer to getting your race number that's also when you get your chip but that's only an assumption

For London they send everything to you in the post, other than your chip. You go to the Expo to get your chip and have it registered to your race number.
On the Berlin site it mentions "Race number distribution" - so I guess that isn't sent to the runners like it is for London. But I wasn't sure if they had a different practice for overseas runners?

Yeah, but my question is if there's an alternative procedure for foreigners travelling from overseas. I don't think there is for London, but having never travelled from overseas to London... |
