Berlin Marathon registration opened at 11am, site crashed since going online and nobody can register

thier official facebook pages is going mental with complaints, some of which seem a bit extreme!!

bit of a joke for an event of this size though,......

    Have you run this? I'm a bit tempted (having relations thereabouts) although every time I finish a 1/2 marathon the idea of doing another one strikes me as ridiculous.

    So getting a place is a bit tricky at the moment then?

    its starte3d working again but use this link to register

    https://www.paps-test.de/de/doStart/YWWCYNL8WY

    as it goes through a health form then registration is easy from then on!

    never done a marathon distance, only half marathons but next year i am doing the Barcelona one in March and then the Berlin one in September! :shock:

    what am i thinking of!

    Have you signed up then? I couldn't work out much they were going to charge, then I found a page listing 3 prices depending on how early you sign up.

    You see if it was cheap I could sign up and then not do it.

    Good job it's not cheap then.

    Good luck with Barcelona. How far are you running at the moment?

    My grandad ran 26 mlies around Berlin in early 1940...he was being chased by a load of Nazi's though.
