Running Together in Berlin – BLACKROLL® at the 2025 Berlin Marathon
Berlin has done it again! Over 60,000 runners took part in the 2025 BMW Berlin Marathon—and BLACKROLL® was right in the thick of it as the official recovery partner. Three days full of highlights: from the expo to side events with adidas, the BLACKROLL® Cheering Point at KM 35, and the recovery area at the finish line.
Community Run with Hendrik Pfeiffer & Leni Runner
As early as Friday, 30 runners gathered for a Community Run with BLACKROLL® brand ambassadors Hendrik Pfeiffer and Leni Runner. The atmosphere was electrifying. Together, they ran along a scenic route through the woods—a special setting where you could already sense that a major event was in the air, one that would reach its climax on Sunday.

One participant summed up the excitement perfectly:
“We were super excited about the event—everything was perfect here: the showrunners were approachable and down-to-earth, the BLACKROLL team provided great support, and the weather was perfect… Thank you so much for everything—we’d love to do it again.”
A perfect warm-up: pure connection, motivation, and community spirit.

Race Highlights & Hendrik Pfeiffer as the Top German Finisher
On Sunday, Hendrik Pfeiffer made a strong statement: With a time of 2:09:14, he finished in 8th place and was the top German finisher —an outstanding achievement.
In the women’s race, Rosemary Wanjiru (KEN) secured the victory with a time of 2:21:05, just three seconds ahead of Dera Dida (2:21:08).
Cheering Point & Recovery Area
At the BLACKROLL® Cheering Point near the Gedächtniskirche, our team cheered on the runners loudly. In the finish area, our Recovery Area —equipped with compression boots, fascia tools, and air loungers—offered a welcome respite after the 42.195 km.
