Berlin Marathon 2026 Medal
The Berlin Marathon 2026 medal combines a detailed map of the city with the highlighted marathon route and one of Berlin’s most iconic landmarks — the Victory Column. The reverse side features the full course layout with a marked race line, surrounded by the inscription “Berlin Legend 27. September 2026”, emphasizing the unique character of this edition. The front showcases the Victory Column alongside the BMW Berlin Marathon logo, creating a classic and elegant composition that reflects the event’s history and prestige. The ribbon includes the printed Berlin Marathon logo, reinforcing the official identity of the medal.
This year’s design also stands out through its strong emphasis on Berlin’s urban layout, turning the medal into both a finisher’s keepsake and a symbolic map of the effort and distance covered by participants. The raised detailing adds depth, while the overall design remains fully aligned with the event’s visual identity.
