About
Megamarsch 50/12 Berlin bei Nacht is a night walk in Berlin. Participants aim to cover 50 kilometers in under 12 hours. The walk begins Saturday evening at Sport Centrum Siemensstadt and concludes Sunday morning. The challenge tests participants' ability to stay awake and steady, alongside their fitness. This event is part of the Megamarsch long-distance hiking series, offering 50-kilometer and 100-kilometer routes throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Spain.
The Berlin event is a walk, not a timed race, with no official timekeeping. It functions as a shared endurance challenge rather than a competition focused on podium finishes. Approximately one to three thousand people are anticipated on the route. The Megamarsch series attracts substantial numbers, with over 40,000 participants across 24 events in a recent season. Hundert24 GmbH, now part of the Infront sports marketing group, organizes the series, managing planning, marketing, event execution, and follow-up.
