Bad Waldsee Radmarathon 2026

The Bad Waldsee Radmarathon is a cycling event held in Bad Waldsee, Baden-Wurttemberg. It has road-marathon origins and offers multiple route options rather than a single distance. The full Marathon route covers 205 km with 2,320 meters of elevation gain, presenting a demanding day on the bike. For a shorter option, riders can select a 125 km road route with 1,240 meters of elevation gain, a 100 km gravel route with 1,050 meters of climbing, or the 80 km Genuss-Tour featuring 730 meters of climbing. Daniel Steinhauser organizes the event, aiming to provide riders with a genuine adventure in the local region. The organizers state that each route is set and personally scouted beforehand. This attention to detail is significant as the event includes both road and gravel options with substantial climbing. The event's character is intentionally personal; the organizer describes it as professionally managed yet "maximally human." Consequently, it feels more like a thoughtfully crafted local ride than a mass-produced cycling product.
