Our hostel near Potsdamer Platz is very centrally located. Therefore, it fills up with sporty people staying there for the world famous Berlin Marathon, a 42 km run through the city centre. But it's not only a run where you can watch the best and world famous endurance runners: there is also a separate events for inline skaters.
Most of the bus lines are interrupted all week-end, there is massive police presence in the city, lots of roads are blocked for the events.
It feels like every single person in Berlin is either running, skating, marshalling, working behind the scenes, or simply watching the events. On Sunday morning we walk to the 21 km (half way) mark and cheer the athletes.
