There were no feet pounding the pavements of Berlin in 2020 due to the pandemic, but one of the flattest and therefore fastest marathons on the circuit is back. The top three men's marathon times ever have been set on the picturesque streets of the German capital - so could we see a new world record this year?
Three-time Olympic gold medallist and five-time world champion Kenenisa Bekele will hope to do just that after missing the world record by a mere two seconds the last time the race was held. In the women's event, Hiwot Gebrekidan holds the fastest time this year for the endurance race and is one of the favorites to cross the line first in 2021.
It's not just the professionals who will be finding their stride - the flat terrain of the course makes the Berlin marathon great for all levels.
