Mein Freiburg Marathon
The Mein Freiburg Marathon is a spring road race in Freiburg, typically held in March or April. It features marathon, half marathon, 10 km, relay, company, and children’s races over the same weekend. Established in 2004, it rapidly became one of Germany’s larger marathons by finisher count and is now managed locally by Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe and the Baden Athletics Association. The marathon course consists of two half-marathon laps, beginning and ending at the exhibition grounds. The route passes through Seepark and Dietenbachpark, Weingarten, Haslach, St. Georgen, Wiehre, follows the Dreisam river, goes through Oberau and the old town, crosses Wiwilibrücke, and returns via Stühlinger. Live music is performed along the 21 km loop. The weekend also includes regional company teams, school relays, a mini-marathon for young children, and competitive half-marathon fields when the German championships are part of the event.
