A unique way to experience the Berlin Marathon, this camper van journey turns your race into something much more than just a weekend in the city. It’s a chance to explore some of the most beautiful and historic parts of Germany — from alpine trails to riverside towns — while preparing for the big day with warm-up runs along the way.

By combining travel and training, you’ll arrive in Berlin not only ready to run, but with a deeper sense of the country and its landscapes. It’s a more enriching and memorable way to take part in one of the world’s great marathons.

You can start your camper journey in Berlin, or choose a different starting point — such as Munich, Amsterdam, Zurich, Stockholm, or Warsaw — depending on your home, budget and travel preferences.

Trip Highlights

• Get to know more of Germany on a set of scenic warm-up runs on the way to Berlin
• Discover alpine lakes, Bavarian villages, medieval old towns, and the sandstone cliffs of Saxon Switzerland National Park (depending on route)
• For race weekend, choose between a city hotel or make your budget go further by staying in your campervan in a top-rated Berlin campsite 
• Share your warm-up runs with other event participants, enjoy a pasta meal together pre-race, and celebratory drinks post-race (optional)

Why ‘With-a-Camper’?

🚐 A hotel room on wheels
Explore and run some of Germany finest parts without having to pack and unpack each night

🏃 A Basecamp for Every Run
Start and finish each run right at your van. You’ll always have your shower, gear, nutrition, and recovery space ready, making it effortless to combine training with exploring.

🌿 Freedom & Adventure
Enjoy the simple joy of campervan life: waking up outdoors, cooking your meals with a view, and experiencing Germany in a more immersive, adventurous way than a hotel stay.

🍺 A Social Experience (Optional)
Warm up for and then celebrate post-race with space, food, and new friends.

Featured Trip Highlight

What makes this trip special is the range and contrast of running experiences it offers. You'll move from wide-open alpine trails and dense forests to quiet riverside towns with medieval streets, before finishing in the fast, urban atmosphere of Berlin. Each route is different, but all share the same spirit — using the journey to explore more of what Germany has to offer and arrive finely-tuned for race day.
