Uta is Back in Her Hometown to Join the Celebration of the 50th Running of the Berlin Marathon

50 years Berlin Marathon! And everyone is in town for this special celebration! A world class field of elite runners will be at the starting line and we can’t wait to see yet another outstanding competition.

Uta will be at the starting line as well to cheer on the elites and the more than 45,000 runners who have registered for this year’s marathon. And she will run the first part of the course with the ‘RTL-Spendenmarathon’, the charity relay team in support of underprivileged children. As part of the organization team, she will be at the finish line to cheer on her Run for Children charity runners who are raising tens of thousands of Euros for underserved children across Berlin. She will see the team the day before the marathon for their pasta party and can’t wait to meet many of those she shared training information with and followed their progress. Now, is the time to celebrate after all the efforts. Let’s Go Runners!

“Good luck to each and every participant,” said Uta. “The enthusiasm for the marathon and the children’s events has increased every year — and that is so important to me and I just love being part of all the energy.”
