The Berlin Marathon (and more sports at the weekend)
The Berlin Marathon is the main event for the weekend. The main race would be on Sunday, starting on Str-der-17-Juni and finishing in Brandenburg Gate. This means, the city centre will be practically car free.
On Saturday, the skaters' marathon as well as the children's marathon (or: mini-marathon) will take place.

But this is not all of the sport for this weekend:
- On Saturday, September 15th, an inclusive mini-Triathlon in Orankesee , the 10th Oranke Open
- Also on Saturday: the figure skating section at TSC Berlin is having a trail training for children aged 3 to 5. I highly recommend this, if you think you're child might have it in them! You should coordinate in advance, but there are shoes for rent there
Furthermore...
- Autumn: Autumn is coming. Next week, there is a huge kite festival in Tempelhofer Feld but already at this weekend, there are some fall events:
