MORE ABOUT RUNNING IN BERLIN

Berlin is a runner's city like almost no other — from the Tiergarten to the Tempelhofer Feld, from the lakes in the southwest to the Müggelsee in the east. We Up brings the city's running meetups, running groups, and run clubs together in one place, from the relaxed neighborhood loop to the fast pace group.

The green core is the Tiergarten, with its shaded paths around the Siegessäule. The Tempelhofer Feld is an experience of its own — the old airfield with dead-straight, endless runways, perfect for intervals. In the east, many runners head to Volkspark Friedrichshain or the Spree riverside in Treptower Park; if you're after forest and trails, go out to the Grunewald with its climb to the Teufelsberg, to the Schlachtensee and Krumme Lanke, or all the way to the Müggelsee with its rolling paths.

Groups meet in nearly every neighborhood — in Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain, Prenzlauer Berg, Neukölln, Mitte, or Charlottenburg. Every group lists the day, time, meeting point, and pace in advance. Many runs are free and explicitly meant for beginners, with zero pressure. Just how much Berlin runs shows in the BMW Berlin Marathon, one of the largest marathons in the world: almost 50,000 runners crossed the finish line in 2025.

Pick a group in your neighborhood and be at the start line for the next event. The best thing about running in Berlin isn't the world records on marathon Sunday — it's the regular run with people you'd never have met otherwise, and the after-work beer that follows. Find your people and run with them.
