Le marathon des trois barrages d'Eibenstock 2026

The Three Dams Marathon takes place in Eibenstock, Saxony, Germany, in mid-September. It features an 8 km race, a half marathon, and a full marathon, with the latter being the most popular. The race listing describes it as one of Germany's most challenging, indicating it's not a straightforward course designed solely for speed. The course combines road sections with forest trails, winding around lakes, ponds, and dams within the Erzgebirge/Vogtland Nature Park. Participants begin in Eibenstock, experiencing a natural environment instead of an urban one. The surrounding area offers attractions such as the town center, the Schönheide Belvedere viewpoint, the Badegarten Eibenstock lake, and boat excursions on Filzteich lake.
