Everything starts with the right attitude

42.195 kilometers - through central Berlin. The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON is an event of the SCC EVENTS GmbH. A limited number of starting places are available to the Stiftung KinderHerz, which are distributed via charity fundraising campaigns.

Requirements:

You start a fundraising campaign and thus collect at least 780 euros in donations by August 5, 2025. Afterwards, you will receive a charity starting place from the KinderHerz Foundation - provided that not all places have been assigned yet. In addition, you will receive a "KinderHerz runner" -T-shirt from us. With this you are ready to start and you will receive a registration code from us to run as a KinderHerz runner through the finish line at the Brandenburg Gate.

You collect the minimum donation amount of 780 Euros together with your family, friends and relatives. To do this, simply create a fundraising campaign on our website. You enter your data, upload a picture and write a motivational text. And off you go ...

With your successful participation in our fundraising campaign for the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2025, you support research projects in the field of pediatric cardiology. This includes, for example, the continuous monitoring of heart transplanted children at the German Heart Center of the Charité in Berlin.

By reaching the donation amount in time, you have successfully mastered the first stage goal: You will be competing for us in the BMW BERLIN-MARATHON 2025 - provided that not all places have been assigned yet. We look forward to meeting you in person on site.

Every donor who supports your running campaign will receive a tax-deductible donation receipt for donations of 20 euros or more. For this we need the postal address. We are happy if you also contribute to your campaign. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to provide you personally with a donation receipt. For legal  reasons, your participation in the run is considered as a return for your donation.

Your fundraising campaign usually has a runtime of 60 days. After expiration, your fundraising campaign is marked as "beendet" ("finished") and the donation function is deactivated. However, you can extend the duration at any time. To do so, please use the secret edit link you received by email after you created your campaign.

Unfortunately, you will then not be able to start for the Stiftung KinderHerz. However, our little patients thank you for your commitment, because every donation helps!

Please note: Donations collected through your fundraising campaign cannot be refunded. This applies if the donation goal was not reached or unfortunately there is no longer a starting place available, which could happen in very rare cases.
