About this race
The Mitteldeutscher Marathon is a point-to-point marathon in central Germany, running from Leipzig to Halle (Saale) in the autumn. It starts at Leipzig’s Elsterflutbecken near the Festwiese Sportforum and finishes on Halle’s Marktplatz, covering the full distance between two neighboring cities rather than looping around one urban center. The race is open to adults and uses net timing, with pacers offered for 3:30, 3:45, 4:00, and 4:15 finish targets.
The course follows the classic Leipzig-to-Halle route, a line with old marathon history: it was first used for a German marathon in 1925. Organizers describe it as fast, but it still has firm cutoffs, including intermediate time checks late in the race and a fixed finish-line closing time. The wider event also includes a half marathon and a 10k, while marathon runners receive practical point-to-point support such as event-day regional transport between Halle and Leipzig, bag drop, clothing transport to the finish, a finisher medal, and post-race massages at the Roter Turm on Halle’s Marktplatz.
