- The bib pickup (Half Marathon EXPO) is traditionally held at the former Tempelhof Airport (Flughafen Tempelhof). You must pick it up in person with your start card.
- How do I get to the start line on race morning?
- Public transport is best. Take the S-Bahn to Brandenburg Gate or the U-Bahn (U5) to Bundestag or Unter den Linden. Your bib often acts as a free transit pass on race day.

- Yes, but you must select the 'bag drop' option during registration. If you chose 'poncho', you will not have a bag drop facility but will receive a heat poncho at the finish.

- It is one of the fastest and flattest half marathon courses in the world, making it ideal for a Personal Best. It passes major landmarks like Tiergarten and Charlottenburg Palace.
