Germany 2026

German running is built on the Volkslauf — thousands of small-town races every weekend, all weather, all year — plus three massive city marathons (Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt) where world records get set.

Cyclists know Germany for RTF and Rad-Touristik-Fahrten across every Land, from the rolling Sauerland and Eifel to Black Forest climbs and Bavarian alpine routes. Cyclassics Hamburg, Velothon Berlin, and Trondheim-Hamburg ultras anchor the brevet calendar. The terrain ranges from pancake-flat in the north to serious alpine in the south, so training depth is unmatched in Europe.
