It is officially known as the ASICS Grand 10 Berlin due to its sponsorship by the sportswear manufacturer.

There are three distinct competition types at the event: a full 10 km elite and mass race, a 2×5 km road relay for partners and families, and an 800 metres race for children.

After looping through the Berlin Zoological Garden, the course passes through Budapester Straße, Kantstraße, and then Schloßstraße which leads to the finishing point near Charlottenburg Palace.
