Hamburg

Hamburg's running is flat and fast—the Elbe riverbank courses dominate, with the Sparkassenlauf 6-Stundenlauf drawing local distance runners to measured loops. Cyclists head south and east into Schleswig-Holstein's rolling farmland for the region's popular brevets like Auf den Spuren von Helmut Niemeier-BSV-Brevet (210km), which links quiet country roads through dairy country with minimal elevation gain but steady wind exposure.
