29 September 2024 - Berlin Marathon

Seven Blackheath & Bromley runners and their supporters, made their way to Berlin to run the 50th celebration of the iconic Berlin marathon on 29 September 2024.

All agreed it was an amazing event and weekend, despite delays, flight and rail cancellations causing frustrations. Steve Hough even ended up in Vienna on the way to Berlin!

Berlin is truly a huge race, with the 2024 event seeing a world record 54,000 completing the course! If you make allowances for the distinct lack of good toilets at the start, some mismanagement of the access to the start pens and a few small pinch points early on the course, Berlin has true PB potential. This was proved with Douglas Varney, Matt Bullen, Steve Hough and Carole Coulon all smashing their PBs!

Performance of the day has to be Carole who broke her own BBHAC club record in a very impressive time of 2.53.18.

Fastest for the Club, with his second fastest ever marathon time was Luca Ercolani with 2.47.12, closely followed by Steve H in 2.48.31. Douglas (seen here from the official website finishing with Steve H) had started 2 mins earlier than Steve H, getting his PB in 2.51.24. That is a very impressive set of MV50 results, all well under 3 hours!

Trang Nguyen, despite some illness concerns, ran a brilliant 3.11.39 (to hopefully qualify with Carole for the London Marathon Championship!) Matt took 5 minutes off his PB in 3.19.48! Bringing up the rear (in age as well as time!) was Steve Pairman in 3.33.14 which is still a good enough time to enter the Good For Age ballot for London 2025.

A massive thanks to our long suffering (but enthusiastic!) partners and a young Varney, who were there to cheer us all on. A great weekend running a Marathon Major in a lively City!

Up The Heath!
