With an overwhelming interest in participating in the 2014 BMW Berlin Marathon a record number of 74,707 runners pre-registered for the lottery.

After the pre-registration phase (September 30 to October 14) there will be a random selection of participants from the pool of registrants on October 30, 2013 to receive starting spots for the 2014 BMW Berlin Marathon. Participation is limited to 40,000 runners.
