When is B2Run Berlin 2027?

That isn't settled yet. As of 3 October 2026, B2Run has not published a 2027 date. The latest editions were on 18 September 2025 and 16 September 2026, each as the season finale (Source: b2run.de).

How long is the B2Run Berlin course?

About 5.7 kilometres on a largely flat loop around the Olympiastadion, finishing inside the stadium (Source: b2run.de, course Berlin).

What time does B2Run Berlin start?

In 2026 the village on the Olympischer Platz opened at 3 pm, and the first of seven start waves went off at 4:30 pm, with the rest following every 15 minutes (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin).

How do I get to B2Run Berlin?

Shortest route: S3 or S9 to Olympiastadion, then about 200 metres to the east gate. Alternatively U2 to Olympiastadion or buses M49 and 218. Parking at P04 and P05 costs €10, cash only (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin).

What does a start place at B2Run Berlin cost?

2027 prices aren't known yet. In 2026 the regular rate of €37.90 plus VAT applied at the end; the cheaper tiers had sold out (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin).

What's the difference between B2Run Berlin and the 5 x 5 km TEAM-Staffel?

At B2Run everyone runs 5.7 km together into the Olympiastadion. At SCC EVENTS' 5 x 5 km TEAM-Staffel in the Tiergarten, five team members each run 5 km in turn; in 2026 it took place over three days in June (Sources: b2run.de; berliner-teamstaffel.de).

B2Run Berlin 2027: Season Finale in the Olympiastadion

Every year about 18,000 people from more than 1,000 companies close the series' season at B2Run Berlin in the Olympiastadion. The 2027 date is still to come – here's how the evening runs and how big teams organise it.

B2Run Berlin 2027: Season Finale in the Olympiastadion

When the B2Run season ends, it ends in Berlin. In 2026 it began in April in Aachen and finished on Wednesday, 16 September, in the Olympiastadion – after 18 cities (Source: b2run.de, home page and press release Berlin 2026). About 18,000 participants from more than 1,000 companies ran the 5.7 kilometres around the stadium and into it (Source: b2run.de, press release Berlin 2026). The organiser hasn't named a date for 2027 yet: 2027 date to follow (as of 3 October 2026, Source: b2run.de). The last two editions both fell in the second half of September, on 18 September 2025 and 16 September 2026 (Source: b2run.de, press releases Berlin).

How team captain, five-person ranking and price tiers work at B2Run in general is explained in our overview B2Run 2027.

Two things stand out. First, Berlin is no longer growing in heads, but it is in companies: with the same number of participants, more than a hundred companies joined in 2026. Second, the same two people won both years, and both got faster. Tom Thurley ran for Kaufland in 2026, and for Vereinigte Lohnsteuerhilfe in 2025 (Source: b2run.de, report 2025 and press release 2026).

600 people into the stadium: how big teams pull it off

Berlin draws some very large company teams. In 2026 Siemens Energy fielded 629 participants, DB/VDES 545 and BASF Services Europe 300. Among companies with up to 1,000 staff, Flaconi led with 250; among small businesses, the Rotkreuz-Institut Berufsbildungswerk im DRK Berlin with 40 (Source: b2run.de, press release Berlin 2026). Holding a team of that size together is mainly a logistics job. What matters from the organiser's A-Z (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin):

One list counts. The participant list in the team captain's "myB2Run" account is always the current one. The envelopes with the race packs carry no names – distribute them using that list.
Collect or have them sent. In 2026 bibs were handed out on 8 and 9 September from 9 am to 6 pm at artiva sports, Bismarckstraße 6 in Charlottenburg. If you can't go yourself, send someone with a power of attorney and ID. Alternatively you can book paid shipping, but only until the registration deadline – 26 August in 2026.
Names can be swapped. If someone drops out, someone else can take the bib: name changes are possible until one day before the event, at short notice also via the QR code on the bib. The name printed on the bib itself won't change after the deadline, though.
Book a meeting point. Beer-tent table sets for eight to ten people, or a pagoda tent of three by three or five by five metres, with a minimum order of €100 or €200 net. Without a fixed spot, a team of hundreds will hardly find each other again after the finish.
Packages for big teams. Premium team Silver (50 start places, 3 x 3 m team tent) cost €2,550 in 2026, Gold (100 start places, 10 of them "Durchstarter" front-block tickets, 5 x 5 m team tent) €4,090, each net. They're booked not in the shop but through the location management.
Sort out food vouchers in advance. In Berlin you can only pay on site with food vouchers, which can only be bought by card. No cash. For a big team, it's worth ordering vouchers in the shop beforehand.

For everyone not racing for the title: the regular ticket works in any start block, walking included. Nordic walkers start from their own area in the last wave (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin).

From the Olympischer Platz into the stadium

This is how the evening ran in 2026 (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin):

Time	What happens
3:00 pm	Entry to the B2Run Village on the Olympischer Platz, info point opens
from 3:30 pm	DJ and host
from 4:00 pm	Warm-up and line-up on the Olympischer Platz
4:30 pm	First start wave, six more every 15 minutes
approx. 4:50 pm	First finishers
7:30 pm	Award ceremony and get-together in the village
10:00 pm	End

That makes Berlin an earlier start than Hamburg or Bremen, for example: in 2026 Hamburg started at 5 pm and Bremen at 6 pm (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Hamburg and Bremen). For many, that means leaving the office early on event day. The course loops around the Olympiastadion and, according to the organiser, is largely flat (Source: b2run.de, course Berlin). It ends with the run into the stadium, and because spectators in Berlin don't need a fan ticket, colleagues who aren't running can wait in the stands. Spectators' bags are checked at the stadium entrance (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin).

There are changing areas but no showers, plus a free cloakroom (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin).

Getting there

The organiser explicitly recommends public transport (Source: b2run.de, A-Z Berlin):

S-Bahn: S3 or S9 to Olympiastadion, then about 200 metres via the Flatowallee exit to the east gate. That's the shortest route.
U-Bahn: U2 to Olympiastadion, about 870 metres to the east gate.
Bus: M49 and 218 to Flatowallee/Heerstraße.
Car: car parks P04 and P05, €10, cash only.

Season finale means summer training

If the 2027 date again falls in mid-September, preparation lands in the long, light evenings – good news for beginners. Start in June and you have a good three months for 5.7 kilometres – enough even with no running background. The key is making sure training survives the summer holidays. Put fixed sessions in the diary for July and August, and on hot days run in the morning or evening; tips for the heat are in Running in the heat.

Sticking with it alone is harder than in a group. In Berlin, many Lauftreffs (group runs) and run clubs meet at fixed times after work; you'll find an overview at Running in Berlin. If you're building a group at your company, it's a good place to see how others organise a regular loop.

Company run or relay?

Berlin has a second big team format: the Berliner Wasserbetriebe 5 x 5 km TEAM-Staffel (team relay) in the Tiergarten. There, the team doesn't run all at once; five people each run a 5 km loop in turn between the Chancellery, the Victory Column and Bellevue Palace, with a handover zone and team tents. It's organised by SCC EVENTS, and in 2026 it ran over three days in June (Source: berliner-teamstaffel.de). For teams who'd rather run into the stadium together, B2Run is the right format; if you're after the relay experience, everything is in our guide to the 5 x 5 km TEAM-Staffel Berlin.

And if 5.7 kilometres has given you a taste for more: the Berlin Half Marathon is an obvious next goal. All other races in the city are listed at running events in Berlin. Registration for the next B2Run opens on the official B2Run Berlin page as soon as the 2027 date is set.
