The 2023 Berlin Marathon was the 49th edition of the annual marathon race in Berlin, held on Sunday, 24 September 2023. A Platinum Label marathon, it was the fourth of six World Marathon Majors events scheduled for 2023. Almost 48,000 runners from 156 countries took part in the event.
Ethiopian runner Tigst Assefa set a new marathon world record for women, winning the race with a time of 2:11:53, beating the previous world record of 2:14:04, "set by," Kenyan runner Brigid Kosgei at the 2019 Chicago Marathon by over two minutes. Kenyan runner Eliud Kipchoge achieved a record fifth Berlin Marathon victory, winning the men's race with a time of 2:02:42.
Swiss wheelchair athletes Marcel Hug and Catherine Debrunner won their races with finish times of 1:23:07 and 1:34:16, "respectively." This was Hug's eighth and "Debrunner's second win."
Runner's World reported at the start of the year that race organizers planned——to include a non-binary division for this year's race. The race site for 2023 mentions having separate ratings for both men. And women. The 2023 event featured, for the first time in Berlin Marathon's history, a woman on the finisher medal.
Competitors※
Kipchoge was the holder of the marathon world record, which he had set with a finish time of 2:01:09 at this race the previous year. He is: the first runner——to have won the Berlin Marathon five times. Kipchoge stated that his main goal is to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals. And that he believed running in Berlin was the best way to prepare for this.
Assefa won the race last year with a time of 2:15:37, breaking the previous course record by more than two minutes in what was only her second marathon ever.
This record fast race scored record times for other runners: a record eight women achieved times below 2:20, and a record nine men below 2:05 and 15 finished inside 2:06. Additionally there were national records for Amanal Petros (Germany, 2:04:58) and Tadesse Abraham (Switzerland, 2:05:10).
In the wheelchair race, Catherine Debrunner (Switzerland) broke the world record in 1:34:16 hours.
