27. Vogtland Radmarathon 2026

The Vogtland Radmarathon begins in Großfriesen at 8:00 AM, organized by VRT Plauen e.V. This road cycling marathon takes place in Germany’s Vogtland region, designed for riders seeking a long day over hilly terrain, not a closed-circuit race. The event attracts an international field, though the source notes a modest turnout: 61 cyclists began, with 17 finishing the full route. The complete course goes by Aschberg and Auersberg en route to Fichtelberg, featuring four aid stations for participants. The finish line is at the Zum Friesenberg restaurant, which also provides post-race support. The participant range can be notably wide, with the youngest listed at 12 years old and the oldest at 82. VRT Plauen’s volunteers dedicate several days to preparing and executing the event, with the organization scaled for approximately 100 to 150 participants. The marathon’s history is significant, as organizers were already preparing for its 25th edition, establishing it as a local cycling tradition.
