42.195 Kilometres for Nature Conservation
Be at the start of the 44th Berlin Marathon 2017 for NABU
Next to the marathons in Chicago, London, Boston, new York and Tokyo, the Berlin marathon is one of the biggest and fastest marathon runs worldwide. Four valid world records have been achieved in Berlin since 2003. More than 40,000 people participate every year in the Berlin marathon. Even if it is sometimes a bit tight during the run, the Berlin Marathon is a unique experience – for the runners, but also for spectators, supporters and numerous fans along the run.
NABU is one of the largest nature conservation charities in Germany with over 600.000 members and around 2.000 local branches. And one of a very few charities in Germany that offers those enthusiastic about running and nature conservation the opportunity to be a member of the NABU team at the start of the Berlin Marathon and do good for nature and the environment.

Fundraising- How does it work?
An example: Your goal is to raise ten Euros from family, friends and colleagues for every kilometre of the Marathon you run. That is 421.95 Euros! You then donate this money to NABU for nature conservation projects. For example, you can start Online Giving on our webpage and send the link to all your friends and family. You can also place a donations box at work. Whatever you do, we will support the whole NABU marathon team in their fundraising activities.
If you are selected for the team in February, we will send you a formal offer. You then respond by formally registering with the NABU team. At the same time you have to deposit the start registration fee of 175 Euros to our account. If you raise more than 175 Euros, you will get this back from us after the Marathon.
As in previous years, NABU will be present at the „Berlin Vital“ Fair with a stand. This Fair will happen in advance of the marathon run from Thursday to Saturday. It will be attended by all marathon runners, as this is when the organiser SCC will hand out the documentation you’ll need for the start. On Saturday afternoon there will be our traditional NABU team photo shoot at our Fair stand.
Do you want to become part of the NABU marathon team? We are looking forward to receiving your application!
