Overview
The Berliner Vollmond-Ultramarathon was a 46 km road race in Berlin, organised by Freunde der Vollmondläufe across 5 editions from 2021 to 2025. It featured a cut-off tighter than 97% of 50k peers and more generous than only 3%, enforcing a demanding maximum pace of 7.8 minutes per kilometre across its 6-hour limit.
The flat route gained 130 metres of total elevation—averaging 2.8 metres of climb per kilometre—on a large loop around Tegeler See and the Oberhavel that traced cycle paths, forest trails, and sections of the Berliner Mauerweg. For an entry fee of 45€, the 2025 race recorded 56 finishers, placing the event with a field bigger than 62% of 50k races and smaller than 38%.
