Insurance

Protect yourself and your money by purchasing our Group Insurance through Manulife. Due to the costs associated with this trip, the pandemic and because you will not be traveling until September, we highly recommend purchasing our travel insurance. With paid insurance you will be able to cancel for insurable reasons as well as running injuries while training! Insurance covers: Cancellation, Interruption, Medical and Baggage. For full details on coverage, please click here: Manulife Financial.

Please note that the insurance coverage that you may have on your credit card will not cover you completely! We are unable to process insurance for those living in Quebec – please contact your local travel agency for coverage.

Due to the pandemic, we also include a Cancel For Any Reason clause on some policies.  Please inquire about this insurance and note that it must be purchased within 72 hours of placing your initial deposit.

Cancellation/Deferral/Refund Policy

As these are guaranteed entries, Berlin will not refund, defer or allow for a cancellation under any circumstance.  That said, our policy needs to be as such:

-There is no deferral option, however, you may cancel your package for a credit, but only if we are able to resell your entry package and only if it’s prior to registration closing (expected to be in August of 2024).

• If we can resell your package, the following fees will apply:
• 15% of your  payment amounts if cancelling prior to September 30, 2023
• 25% of your  payment amounts if cancelling between Oct 1, 2023 and Jan 31, 2024

The Crowne Plaza Berlin – Potsdamer Platz is situated 2KM from Brandenburg Gate (finish area) and roughly 2.5KM from the Start area of the marathon.  This means that you can easily walk both to the marathon in the morning and then back to the hotel post marathon without having to worry about taking public transportation.

Crowne Plaza Berlin – Potsdamer Platz offers rooms with one European queen bed (160cm by 200cm) or rooms with two single beds (90cm by 200cm).  Rooms with two single beds will only fit one person each.

Prices are in € Euros but you may pay in CAD and we’ll convert it to € Euros.  Packages are based on a three night hotel stay.  Additional nights may be purchased either before and/or after the weekend.

*1 Runner/1 Non Runner – A package for either someone traveling on their own and wants their own room, or, one runner and one additional person in the room who either is not running or already has an entry. Price is the total for both people.

*2 Runners Sharing – A package for a couple or two friends, both of whom are running.  Price is per person.

We have limited suites available that include a bathtub and seating area. Contact us for pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the minimum three nights we have to stay?
The three included nights are Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.

What’s the weather like?
Average September temperatures in Berlin average between +11 and +19 degrees Celsius.
