Where and when can you pick up your race package?
Location: Messe Berlin, South Entrance (Jafféstraße 14055 Berlin)
Pickup hours at MARATHON EXPO:
• Thursday, September 18: 3:00 PM – 8:00 PM
• Friday, September 19: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM
• Saturday, September 20: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM
It’s recommended to schedule your pickup on Thursday or Friday – the EXPO tends to be less crowded, giving you a more comfortable experience and more time to explore the exhibitors’ booths.
