Berlin Marathon 2026: The Fastest Shoes in the World?

The Berlin Marathon never disappoints and this year’s race gave us plenty to talk about. I look at the men’s and women’s races, the standout performances from Guye Adola and Tigst Assefa, the incredible dominance of the adidas Adios Pro Evo 3 on the podium, and why big names Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha were missing. I also discuss the latest doping case involving Kenyan marathoner Philemon Kiplimo Kimaiyo and what it tells us about the ongoing challenges facing elite distance running. A look at the race, the performances, the shoes and some of the bigger stories behind Berlin 2026.
