Berlin Marathon 2027 Ballot Results: Dec 3 Email and Payment

The 2027 Generali Berlin Marathon ballot results go out by email on December 3, 2026. Everyone who entered gets an email, selected or not. The lottery closes on November 12, 2026, and race day is Sunday, September 26, 2027.

When are the Berlin Marathon 2027 ballot results?

December 3, 2026. SCC EVENTS sends the emails over the course of the day, so yours may arrive later than a friend's. Check your spam folder before you contact the organizer.

If you have not applied yet, the lottery runs from October 1 to November 12, 2026 on the official registration page. You need a personal user account, and your entry type (individual, team or fast runner) cannot be changed after you submit.

When is the €215 entry fee charged?

Only if you get a place. The payment provider, Adyen N.V., charges the €215 participation fee starting December 4, 2026. Depending on your bank, it can take up to a week to show.

You cannot change your payment details after registering. If the charge fails, a payment request appears in your user account, where you can add another method. The organizer says your place is not affected. A clothing bag is an extra €5 and had to be chosen at registration; otherwise you get a finisher poncho.

What if I entered as a team or a fast runner?

  • Team of 2 to 3: if the team is drawn, every member gets a place. After the draw each entry stands on its own, so one person dropping out does not affect the others, and no replacement can be added.
  • Fast runner: you hear whether your qualifying time was accepted once the lottery results are announced. If your proof was invalid, your application was moved into the general lottery.

What are the odds of getting into Berlin 2027?

Unknown. SCC EVENTS does not publish how many people enter or how many places the lottery holds, so there is no official acceptance rate. Our Berlin lottery odds guide covers what is known.

What can I change after the results?

Changes to your order are only possible after the results are announced. Two things are fixed: the poncho or clothing bag choice, and cancellation insurance, which cannot be added later. Places cannot be transferred to another person or year, and fees are not refunded. If you become pregnant, you can postpone your place for up to three years with a doctor's note.

What if I don't get a place?

Two official routes stay open after the draw:

  • Charity partners: running for an official charity partner comes with a guaranteed place. Premium partner Realbuzz lists over 150 charities, alongside The Human Safety Net. See the charity entry page.
  • Tour operators: official partners in more than 50 countries sell travel packages with entry, and the organizer says they "usually still have available and guaranteed spots long after the lottery". See the tour operator page.

Only the partners listed by SCC EVENTS are authorized to sell entries. The Berlin race page has the full 2027 calendar.
