"The men's race was won by 29-year-old Sabastian Sawe with a time of 2:02:15 five months after his victory in the London marathon while first place in the women's race went to compatriot Rosemary Wanjiru with a time of 2:21:05. Despite Berlin's reputation as the fastest marathon route on the world circuit, both times were significantly off world-record time (Sawe 1:40 slower, Wanjiru 11:49 slower). This can likely be attributed to the unusually humid late-summer conditions in the German capital."

Support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has risen to its highest level in a recent poll, and an AfD candidate is among the favorites in the Frankfurt (Oder) mayoral election. Kenyan runners achieved a double victory at the Berlin Marathon: Sabastian Sawe won the men's race in 2:02:15, five months after his London Marathon victory, and Rosemary Wanjiru won the women's race in 2:21:05. Both finishing times were notably slower than world records, likely because of unusually humid late-summer conditions in Berlin, despite the city's reputation for a fast marathon route.
