Berlin marathon organisers shelve plans for 2020 race

BERLIN (Reuters) - The Berlin Marathon will not take place this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, organisers said on Wednesday.

The race had been scheduled for Sept. 26-27 but organisers had said already that it could not go ahead on that date because of Germany’s ban on public gatherings of more than 5,000 people until Oct. 24.
