Refuge Worldwide's Berlin Marathon Weekend

On the 19th and 20th of September we partner up with Top4running and HOKA for a marathon event including shake-out runs, panel talks, an after party with Alex Kassian, plus t-shirt giveaways and refreshments.

Celebrating the Berlin Marathon 2025, we've lined up a series of DJ sets and activities at the HOKA Experience Center on Potsdamer Str. 77 (Berlin, 10785) and across the city, featuring Refuge Worldwide residents on soundtracking duties. As the city gears up for race day, we'll be co-hosting three free to attend events. Everything is family friendly, while all running experience levels are most welcome.

Starting Friday evening, there will be a 6km community shake-out run around central Berlin, with Refuge Worldwide DJs Adam Cooke, Meriem S and Hanaby stationed at every 1.5km of the route to keep you moving. Free shirts for every participant, plus an after party with Alex Kassian at the route's finishing point (HOKA Experience Center).

On Saturday afternoon from 16:30 Peter Duran (founder of two Berlin running communities, BPM and Crews & Brews) is joined by Jacky aka Jacsnoise (a Berlin Braves runner with extensive ultra-relay experience), and Parker aka P Relief (a strong trail and ultra runner). The trio will discuss "Community in Motion: The connection between running, music and Berlin", touching on the psychological relationship between running and music.
