About this race
The Süderelbe Halbmarathon through the Old Land is a German half marathon held at the CU Arena near Neugraben S-Bahn station in Hamburg. The main race proceeds from the arena to Neuenfelde and returns through the Old Land region, with the start and finish located in the same arena area. The event also features a 10 km run, a 5 km run, a 5 km walk, and a 1.2 km children's run, catering to runners, walkers, and families, not exclusively half-marathon specialists.
The half-marathon course is nearly flat, entirely asphalted, and officially measured. This is significant for runners aiming for a personal best, as results from the measured course are recognized for rankings and qualification standards. Its out-and-back design simplifies the race: depart CU Arena, proceed through the Old Land to Neuenfelde, and then return to the same finish area. The race is considered a tradition locally, and its 50th edition signifies its established presence in the Süderelbe running schedule.
