Eliud Kipchoge and Brigid Kosgei won the men's and women's titles at the 44th edition of the BMW Berlin Marathon, which took place on September 16, 2018. Kipchoge, the Olympic champion and world record holder, won his third Berlin Marathon title in a time of 2:01:41, while Kosgei, the 2018 Boston Marathon champion, won her first Berlin Marathon title in a time of 2:18:58.

Kipchoge, who has won 10 of his last 11 marathons, including the 2016 Olympic Games and the 2017 London Marathon, dominated the men's race from the start. He led a group of five athletes through the first 10km in 28:46, before gradually increasing his pace to take the lead at 20km. He then maintained a steady pace to cross the finish line in 2:01:41, a new course record.

Kosgei, who has won three of her last four marathons, including the 2018 Boston Marathon, took the lead at 30km and never looked back. She crossed the finish line in 2:18:58, a new personal best and the second-fastest time in the world this year.

The men's and women's wheelchair events were also won by athletes from Kenya, with Marcel Hug winning the men's wheelchair title in a time of 1:24:03 and Manuela Schar winning the women's wheelchair title in a time of 1:41:07.
