Bornaer Marathon 2026

The Bornaer Marathon is a small, guided marathon in Borna, Germany. Runners are split into five pace groups rather than starting as one open field. This 42.2 km road race, typically held in November, deliberately limits its field to about 60 runners. The intention is for participants to run together from start to finish with others at a similar level, creating an atmosphere more akin to a club long run than a large city marathon. The course features approximately 198 meters of elevation gain and descent. VSV'77 Borna Laufbewerbe organizes the event, with registration available online or in person near race day.
