Turn miles into smiles at the Berlin Marathon with Team EMPOWER!

As one of the 6 Abbott World Marathon Majors, Berlin Marathon is an extremely popular event. It boasts a fast course where runners PBs are regularly broken, along with the world record finish time achieved by Eliud Kipchoge in 2022. Berlin is also a real treat with its great culture, food, and attractions. Can you set a personal best in 2023 or simply just enjoy the vibe and have fun along the streets of Berlin?

Why join Team EMPOWER?

Every three minutes a baby is born with a cleft which can lead to difficulties eating, breathing, hearing, and speaking. By supporting Smile Train and joining Team EMPOWER you will be raising funds which could help to provide children living with cleft access to a full range of cleft treatment services they would otherwise be unable to afford, and ultimately the opportunity of a healthy productive life.

How will we support you?

As part of Smile Train's Team EMPOWER we will support you all the way from registration through to the finish line by providing you with the following:

  • Smile Train fundraising pack
  • Team EMPOWER running vest
  • Regular emails with event and fundraising advice
  • Access to our online training hub
  • Opportunity to share your fundraising with local/national press
  • Certificate of appreciation
