Tigst Assefa runs into completely new dimensions with a world record. Eliud Kipchoge wins for the fifth time. Amanal Petros pulverises the German record. And Domenika Mayer becomes the second-best German of all time. In this digital finisher magazine we have compiled all the stories and the best photos from the 49th BMW BERLIN-MARATHON for you. We hope you enjoy reading, looking at the photos and reminiscing!
