Lausitz-Marathon Klettwitz 2026

The Lausitz-Marathon Klettwitz takes place in May on the DEKRA Lausitzring, a high-speed test oval in Klettwitz, Brandenburg. The event includes more than just a marathon: runners, walkers, Nordic walkers, cyclists, skaters, scooter riders, longboarders, and unicyclists compete at the same venue. The organizer promotes it as a race for fast times, suitable for a closed motor-racing oval with controlled surfaces and no city traffic. The event typically attracts hundreds of athletes, not a massive field. The running events feature a 5.714 km road race and a 10 km cross-country race, which also accommodates walking. The cycling program offers individual time trials, pair time trials, and four-rider team time trials. Established in 2009, the series also contributes to the Niederlausitz-Cup, attracting local club athletes and participants interested in unique race formats. A practical aspect highlights the event's nature: several wheeled disciplines utilize rented timing transponders, requiring a cash deposit refunded upon return of the chip.
