Pitstop Cheering Zone (KM 17.9)
KRAFT’s Pitstop Cheering Zone lights up the Berlin Half Marathon course at KM 17.9 with a DJ-led soundtrack and cold drinks for spectators as the late-race surge rolls through. The setup runs from 10:00 until the sweep vehicle (“Besenwagen”) passes, making it an easy, high-energy spot to catch runners when the effort is showing and the finish is getting close.
**Good to know**
- Best access: S+U Alexanderplatz; the zone sits at the corner of Karl-Marx-Allee and Otto-Braun-Str. on the right side of the course
- Arrive early for a good curb spot—this is a busy stretch near the center
- Dress for standing around and bring a noisemaker if available; drinks are on-site but quantities may be limited late in the day
