The 2022 Berlin Marathon was the 48th edition of the annual marathon race in Berlin, which took place on Sunday, 25 September 2022.[1][2][3][4] An Elite Platinum Label marathon, it was the first of four World Marathon Majors events to be held over the span of six weeks.[5][6] 45,527 runners with 34,879 finishers from 157 countries have taken part in the event.[7]

Kenyan runner Eliud Kipchoge set a new marathon world record, winning the race with a time of 2:01:09, and beating the previous record, which he had set himself four years prior in Berlin, by 30 seconds.[3] This was Kipchoge's fourth victory at the Berlin Marathon, making him the second runner to win the race four times, after Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie.[2][3][6]

Ethiopian runner Tigist Assefa won the race with a time of 2:15:37, setting a new course record in Berlin with her second marathon race.[3] Assefa's time was also the third-fastest woman's marathon time ever, and broke her personal record by over 18 minutes.[8][9] She would go on to break this record the following year, when she set a new world record.[10]

Swiss wheelchair athlete Marcel Hug claimed his seventh Berlin Marathon victory with a time of 1:24:56, while another Swiss wheelchair athlete, Catherine Debrunner, won the race with a time of 1:36:47 in her marathon debut.[3]
