The Berliner Morgenpost Great 10K begins at Charlottenburg Palace, directing participants into Berlin’s City West each October. This 10 km road race is known for fast times, with its course records close to world record marks. Alongside the main 10 km, the event includes a 4.2 km race, children’s races of 1.5 km and 0.8 km, and a 2 x 5 km relay, offering opportunities beyond chasing personal bests. It has taken place annually since 2008, originating as the ASICS Grand 10 with over 5,000 participants from Germany.
The course proceeds from Charlottenburg Palace via Spandauer Damm and Straße des 17. Juni. It passes landmarks such as Charlottenburg Gate, the Victory Column, the Zoological Garden, the Elephant Gate, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, and Schloßstraße, concluding back at the palace. Participants include competitive club runners, novices, relay squads, children, and visitors from outside Berlin, all attending to compete or to experience a 10 km run through the western part of the city and the zoo. Notable German winners include Alina Reh and Anna Hahner, while Leonard Patrick Komon holds the men's record with four wins.
