Deggendorfer Halbmarathon 2026

The Deggendorfer Elypso-Half Marathon is a spring race day in Deggendorf, Bavaria, organized by Laufverein Deggendorf. The main event is a 21.1 km half marathon, with shorter options: a 7 km hobby run, a 4 km youth run, and a 1 km school run. This series has reached its 20th edition and recently drew 704 registrations, making it a local club event with enough runners to feel active while maintaining its community scale. The half marathon route crosses the Lower Bavarian landscape, finishing in Deggendorf’s historic old town. The shorter races welcome children and newer runners alongside half marathoners; in one instance, younger children started one minute before older runners in the 1 km race. A local perk tied to the event’s Elypso name allows participants discounted entry to the elypso swimming and sauna world post-race.
