„100MeilenBerlin – Berlin Wall Race“ on August 15-16, 2026

Organizer:

Langstreckenlauf-Gemeinschaft Mauerweg Berlin e.V.
Brettnacher Straße 24, 14167 Berlin
Club Chairman: Olaf Ilk
email: info@100meilen.de
Website: www.100meilen.de

Route:

The Berlin Wall Trail is mostly paved and smooth, but it also includes areas with broken concrete, sand trails, stones, and roots which may create some uneven surfaces.
The route includes busy, public roads. Participants are expected to follow the local traffic regulations.

Each year, the direction of the race changes. The 2026 race will be run counterclockwise.

Distance:

100 Miles – Measured by GPS and verified by the Race Organizer.

Route marking:

The route is marked out by an experienced and competent marking team with chalk-based spray paint, signs and barricade tape as well as reflective arrows for night time.

Having said that, we cannot guarantee that the route is so well-marked that it would be impossible to lose your way. In particular, after dark, or in the event of heavy rainfall or other unfavorable weather conditions, the marking may disappear, be covered or not visible or recognizable in sufficient time.

In addition, the organizer will provide the GPS file for the route, which can be downloaded from the website www.100meilen.de (approx. one month before the run, short-term changes due to construction sites are possible). It is recommended to take a GPS device with you for orientation.

A (willful) removal of the markings by third parties cannot be ruled out by the organizer. Immediately after the time limit has expired, the trail markings are dismantled in sections by the final runners. The route is therefore no longer marked after the time limit has expired.

Start and Finish:

Start and Finish are both located in the Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahnsportpark, Cantianstrasse 24 in Berlin, 10437.

There is NO capacity for parking at the stadium. Race participants and their supporters are strongly recommended to use public transportation to reach the stadium. The start number serves as a ticket to allow the participant to use public transportation on the race days.

Refreshment Stations (VP):

There are 26 refreshment stations located every 5-9 kilometers along the route. The refreshment stations provide a variety of food and drinks – mostly vegan – that are suitable for runners.
The organizer aims to provide food and drinks rich in variety.

All plastic cups and trash must be disposed of at the refreshment stations. Littering is not allowed.

Control Points (CP), Bag Drop and Relay Exchanges:

There are three midpoints where bags can be dropped off and where relay exchanges take place (exception: 5+ relay).
The midpoints are as follows:

• Midpoint 1 – Ruderclub Oberhavel (at the 33 km mark approximately)
• Midpoint 2 – Schloss Sacrow (at the 70 km mark approximately)
• Midpoint 3 – Sportplatz Teltow (at the 102 km mark approximately)

The relay teams exchange as follows:

• 2 person relay teams:
  • runner 1 from start to Schloss Sacrow (Midpoint 2 – approximately 70 k)
  • runner 2 from Schloss Sacrow to Finish (approximately 92 k)
• 4 people relay teams:
  • runner 1 from start to Ruderclub Oberhavel (Midpoint 1 – approximately 33 k),
  • runner 2 from Ruderclub Oberhavel to Schloss Sacrow (Midpoint 2 – approximately 37 k),
  • runner 3 from Schloss Sacrow to Sportplatz Teltow (Midpoint 3 – approximately 32 k),
  • runner 4 from Sportplatz Teltow to finish (approximately 60 k).
• 5+-relay teams: The 5+-relay teams can exchange at any aid station!

Time Measurement:

Time measurement is done by a special transponder technology offered by Race Result Germany. Split times are recorded electronically at each refreshment station and – if the connection allows – the split times are automatically posted online. Each refreshment station is also a control point and has a cut-off time. The cut-off times are listed in the table below. Participants (individual and relay runners) who do not leave the aid stations by the indicated cut-off times are pulled out of the race and are not able to officially finish the race.

Table of Time Limits:

Mandatory Equipment:

During the race, every participant, both individual runners and relay team members, must carry a fully functional, switched on mobile phone with them.The phone number must be entered in the online registration (for the relay teams, only the mobile number of the team captain is required).

To help minimize the environmental impact, participants must carry their own collapsible cup with them.

Runners and their bicycle companions who are on the course between 9:00 pm and 6:00 am or when it is otherwise dark are required to use a head lamp and a reflective vest or shoulder strap. It is also mandatory to carry a rescue blanket (gold foil) with them. Bringing an extra lamp as well as additional batteries is recommended.

It is recommended that every runner carries at least 0.5 liters of water with them. In case of extreme weather conditions, the Race Director can make this mandatory.

The organiser reserves the right to check the mandatory equipment during the race.

Rule Violations:

Rule violations may result in warnings, time penalties or disqualifications. Rule violations include for example, unsportsmanlike conduct, short-cutting, use of vehicles, change of bib number, traffic offences, littering or insulting volunteers and race officials. The use of headphones before AS 2 (Lübars) and after AS 23 (Dammweg) is not allowed and can result in disqualification.

Failure to carry the mandatory equipment will result in disqualification in any case.

The use of Nordic walking poles as well as bringing a dog on a leash is not allowed and will result in disqualification.

Medical Certificate:

A medical certificate, obtained no more than 12 months prior to the day of the event, is mandatory for individual runners and must be presented at the bib pick-up. The certificate must state in writing that the participant is medically capable of running a distance of 100 miles. It must include the signature and a seal or stamp (clearly recognizable) of a licensed physician. A physician participating in the race may not self-certify. An individual runner will not be admitted to the race without a medical certificate.
We recommend the form of the German Ultramarathon Federation which you can download HERE.

Bicycle and Running Companions:

Bicycle or running support is possible after AS 9 (Falkenseer Chausee, at approximately the 51 k mark) for both individual runners and relay teams. Companions are not allowed to position themselves in front of participants due to a wind protection effect. Each participant is limited to one companion. Other runners or road traffic must not be impeded or jeopardized by the companion. The companion must be registered (see registration).

Bicycle or running support in front of AS 9 (Falkenseer Chaussee) is a violation of the rules and can lead to disqualification. This also includes any kind of support (e.g. providing drinks and/or food) – whether on the route or at an aid station.
