The Späti Half blends Berlin's Spätkauf culture with a half marathon, turning city corners into party stops. No medals, no pressure, just community, creativity, and beer along the way.
In this episode, Kristina shares how three friends turned a wine-fueled idea into a beloved event that draws first-timers and seasoned runners alike. We get into the surprising logistics of routing a race through a quirky city, how they fold local businesses in as partners, and why they keep the whole thing deliberately relaxed.
You'll hear:
