The BMW Dallas Marathon and BMW BERLIN-MARATHON start lines are separated by more than 5,200 miles, but a new promotion announced by race organizers will close that gap for one lucky participant. One Grand Prize winner in the BMW Dallas Marathon Social Run sweepstakes will receive two flight vouchers, hotel accommodations and entry for two into BMW’s race hospitality area in Berlin, as well as one guaranteed registration into the exclusive 2017 BMW BERLIN-MARATHON.
To be eligible, individuals must participate in the 46th running of the BMW Dallas Marathon on Dec. 11– running either the marathon, half marathon or Behringer Relay in Dallas – and must also register and attend one or more official BMW Dallas Marathon Social Runs.
“BMW has embodied performance and exclusive experiences around the globe for more than a century. We wanted to do something truly one-of-a-kind for BMW Dallas Marathon participants in our first year as title partner of a major U.S. running event,” said Russell Lucas, Vice President Southern Region, BMW of North America.
The BMW BERLIN-MARATHON is one of six races that make up the Abbott World Marathon Majors and the site of the most World Record times set in the marathon, including Dennis Kimetto’s world-leading time of 2:02:57. As many as 40,000 runners participate in the sold out BMW BERLIN-MARATHON each year, which is often recognized as the fastest marathon in the world for its flat and fast course through historic and scenic Berlin.
“We are excited to have a partner in BMW that is committed to growing interest and participation in running in new and distinctive ways,” said Lisa Croley, chairman of the Dallas Marathon board of directors. “The BMW Dallas Marathon social runs hosted by North Texas BMW dealers will create memorable experiences and underscore the commitment of both organizations to improving health and fitness in the community.”
