How the field paced: first half against second half
Of the 47,719 finishers with both halves timed, 5.5% ran a negative split (a faster second half) and another 5.2% stayed within 2% of even. The median runner's second half was 11.9% slower than the first, 58% slowed by more than 10% and 24.3% by more than 20%.
Faster runners paced more evenly. Finishers under 3:00 slowed by a median 5.3% and 10.3% of them split negative; runners over 5:00 slowed by 14.7% and only 3.6% split negative. Your own result shows where your halves sit in this spread.
What the virtual ranking shows
The official places only exist at the finish. To show how you moved through the race, the tool ranks every runner at every timing mat by net time: the clock time from crossing the start line to that mat. Wave starts (4 waves, sent off between 09:15 and 10:40) do not matter, because everyone's clock starts on their own start line.
So if you were 12,000th at 5 km and 10,500th at the finish, you ran the last 37 km faster than about 1,500 of the runners around you. At the finish the chart uses your official place.
Where the data comes from
All results are pulled from the official BMW Berlin Marathon results page and shown as published, including splits the timer estimated for a missed mat (marked with an asterisk). Only finishers are listed. The analysis (virtual ranks, nationality places, pacing comparisons) is our own, and TrainingZones is not affiliated with the race organizer. For private use only.

How do I find my Berlin Marathon 2025 results?
Type your name or bib number into the search on this page. Your result opens with your splits, rankings, pacing analysis and charts, and gets its own link you can share.
What is the virtual ranking?
Your place among all runners at each timing mat, ranked by net time (start line to that mat). It shows how you moved through the field during the race, independent of your start wave. At the finish it equals your official place.
Why is my gun time longer than my net time?
Gun time runs from your wave's start signal, net time from the moment you crossed the start line. The official places and every ranking here use net time.
What does an asterisk next to a split mean?
The timer estimated that split because a mat missed your chip. It is shown as published by the organizer; the virtual ranking uses it too.
