Recurring Half Marathon races near Hamm
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Semi-Marathon de Dortmund
The Sparkassen-Phoenix-Half-Marathon covers 21.0975 km in Dortmund, Germany. Participants can run the half marathon individually or as a relay team, offering flexibility for groups and varying skill levels.
The course is designed to showcase Dortmund on foot, guiding runners past the city’s significant landmarks instead of an anonymous out-and-back path. Practical race details such as start time, elevation gain, and registration fee are not currently provided.
13. Sparkassen-Phoenix-Halbmarathon
The Sparkassen-Phoenix-Halbmarathon is a flat half marathon held in Dortmund-Hörde. The event covers the full 13.1-mile / 21.0975 km distance and includes a 3-person relay. The listed start time is 11:00 AM on a Saturday in early October. This running event is for adults, offering two options: run the entire half marathon individually or divide the distance among three participants.
The finish line for all races is located at Burgstraße 18 in Dortmund-Hörde. The course profile is flat, providing a straightforward experience for runners seeking the half-marathon distance without significant elevation changes. The race is also listed in the laufen.de calendar, which features events that either collaborate with laufen.de or are officially registered within the German Athletics Association system.
Falke Rothaarsteig Marathon
Almetal-Marathon Paderborn
The Almetal-Marathon Paderborn guides runners from Büren-Ringelstein through the Alme valley to Ahorn-Sportpark in Paderborn. This October road race features a full marathon, two half-marathon distances, a 4 x 10.5 km relay, and a 4 km mini-marathon. SV Rot-Weiß Alfen 1927 e.V. is the organizer, attracting a modest field of 300 to 500 participants, distinct from large city events.
The full marathon follows a point-to-point course. The upper half marathon runs from Büren-Ringelstein to Wewelsburg, and the lower half marathon goes from Wewelsburg to Paderborn. Twelve sports clubs collaborate on the event, contributing to its regional club-race atmosphere over a commercial festival feel. Established in 2017, the marathon has Landrat Christoph Rüther as its patron and provides practical runner amenities including kilometer markers, personalized bibs, online certificates, race timing, and complimentary race photos.
Almetal-Marathon
The Almetal-Marathon is a point-to-point running event in Germany’s Alme valley. The marathon begins in Büren-Ringelstein and concludes at Ahorn-Sportpark in Paderborn. This main race spans 42 km. The event also offers two half marathons and a four-person relay, with each leg covering 10.5 km. Rot-Weiß Alfen e. V. organizes the race, presenting it as one built by runners for runners. It accommodates both competitive athletes and those seeking a shared outdoor run.
The route traces the Alme river through the Paderborn district. The two half marathons utilize distinct segments: the upper half runs from Büren-Ringelstein to Wewelsburg, and the lower half proceeds from Wewelsburg to Paderborn. The course is characterized as rolling, with a modest elevation change of 10 meters of climbing and 10 meters of descent. The relay allows teams to divide the full distance. The event is an established part of the regional sports calendar.
6. Nordwalder Laufspektakel
The Nordwalder Laufspektakel is a late-October running event in Nordwalde, offering races for adults and children. The program includes a Bambini race and 1km and 2km starts, alongside 5km, 10km, and a half marathon, accommodating young children, newer runners, and faster club athletes on the same race day.
A recent edition took place in wind and rain, yet set a participant record with new best marks on the 5km and half marathon courses. The published course records indicate a competitive local field: 16:29 for the men’s 5km, 18:41 for the women’s 5km, 33:24 and 37:54 over 10km, and 1:13:10 and 1:27:26 for the half marathon. Results show runners from Hamburg, Mettingen, Steinfurt, and Münster, and the organizers provide GPX files for each route.
13. Gütersloher DJK Halbmarathon
The Gütersloh Half Marathon takes place in November in Gütersloh, North Rhine-Westphalia, organized by DJK Gütersloh. The event features a measured half marathon, 10 km and 5 km races for teenagers and adults, and short children’s races of 400 m, 800 m, and 1 km.
The half marathon course is measured by the DLV to IAAF/AIMS standards, allowing performances to count for official rankings. The event caters to families and regular runners alike: Bambini and school-age races offer awards for the top three boys and girls. Ceremonies are held in a tent after each race, and participants can download certificates from the timing company’s website.
35. Blumensaatlauf
The Blumensaatlauf is a race day organized by TUSEM Essen's athletics department in Essen, featuring a half marathon and a 10 km race. This marks the event's 35th year. Current information suggests the race takes place in late autumn, with registration opening after the summer holidays, not significantly earlier.
The route details are not extensively provided, suggesting it is primarily a local club-organized running event rather than a destination race known for a famous course. TUSEM Essen also promotes trial training for youth athletics, catering to U10 to U16 age groups, at the same location. This situates the Blumensaatlauf within a larger athletics club environment.
127. Bertlicher Straßenläufe
The Bertlicher Straßenläufe is a road-running event in Bertlich organized by the athletics department of SuS Bertlich 1945 e.V. The race program is unusually broad for a club event: runners can enter anything from 5 km to 100 km.
The listed distances are 5 km, 7.5 km, 10 km, 15 km, 20 km, half marathon, 25 km, marathon, 50 km, and 100 km, so the same meeting can serve short-distance runners, marathoners, and ultrarunners. It appears in the laufen.de Laufkalender, a German running calendar tied to the DLV registration system and its state associations.
Essener Rhein-Herne-Kanal Marathon
The Essener Rhein-Herne-Kanal Marathon is a self-supported run and walk in Essen-Dellwig, starting at Prosperstraße and Scheppmannskamp along the Rhein-Herne Canal. TUSEM Essen organizes the event, with a standard 10:00 a.m. start. Flexible early or late starts are available, including a very early option for the ultra distance. The race uses a single short canal lap of 7.1 km for its distances: 7.1 km, 14.2 km, half marathon, 28.4 km, 35.5 km, marathon, 50 km, and 71 km. This is a practical, no-frills race where participants manage their own supplies, timekeeping, and route verification for an official result.
The course begins by crossing a bridge, then follows the canal bank towards Oberhausen. It crosses again at OB-Osterfeld and returns along the water to the start. One lap measures 7.06 km by GPS and 7,098 meters by measuring wheel. Longer races consist of repeated laps, with the 71 km ultra requiring ten laps. Walkers are welcome, and only the specified distances are scored. Finishers get a certificate via email and a medal on site. With 25 editions completed, this small canal-side event has established local running history.
Eulenkopflauf
Eulenkopflauf is a December road race in Wuppertal, Germany, with half marathon and marathon options for adult runners. The races start in the morning, and the shared finish is at Freibad SV Wuppertal-Neuenhof 1930 e.V.
The route follows the Eulenkopfweg on a rolling course rather than a flat city loop. Listings put the longer race at about marathon distance, with one source giving 42.6 km and more than 700 metres of climbing and descending, while the shorter race is just over 21 km.
41. Lauf Rund um den Allwetterzoo
Lauf Rund um den Allwetterzoo is a running event in Germany, translating to 'run around the Allwetterzoo'. This marks the 41st occurrence of the race, listed within the German Laufkalender system. This system allows runners to find races by distance and by courses that qualify for official athletics records.
The event features standard road race distances ranging from 5 km to 100 km, covering 10 km, half marathon, marathon, and ultra distances. Races listed in this calendar are either partners with laufen.de or registered via the German Athletics Association's state branches, integrating them into the DLV system for course measurement, timing regulations, safety protocols, and official record-keeping.

About Half Marathon races in Hamm
Hamm Training Notes
Hamm hosts 34 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Hamm by stitching parks, canal paths, and district loops together. The city has a 195 km marathon route through all city districts. The Uentrop district keeps the half-marathon route along the Datteln-Hamm Canal simple and useful for Z2. Lippepark, Maxipark, Kurpark, and the former Radbod colliery give runners easy landmarks. The Tuesday running group meets at 6:00 PM, with Reha Bad Hamm from April to October and Maxipark from November to March. LG Hamm, TEAM HSC, and Westfälischer Turnerbund e. sit in the local club mix. The Sparkassen Winterlaufserie, Hammer Frauenlauf, MAXiLauf, AOK-Firmenlauf Hamm, Adventslauf, and Uentroper Geithelauf are the anchor dates.
Locals ride Hamm like a flat base-mile town with useful dirt edges. The Lippedamm carries the small bike tour between the Datteln-Hamm Canal and the Lippe river. White bridges take riders over the Radbod dump toward the Radbod Mine plant. The former coal railway points east, and the Lippeauen can turn a tidy spin into gravel that gets muddy and slippery. Bikemap lists 2,602 cycle routes around Hamm. One route runs 5 km with 0 m ascent and 0 m descent. Another route runs 7 km with 107 m ascent and 116 m descent. 7 km. TEAM HSC, LG Hamm, and Westfälischer Turnerbund e. are the club names locals know.
May and August are the months when most people get on their bikes here. Summer keeps the riding open for Z2, gran fondo legs, and steady road work toward Möhnesee routes. Runners get long daylight on the canal, Lippe Auen, and the dike, with the old line in your head: running like on the North Sea, just without the North Sea. Winter moves the Tuesday group to the main entrance of Maxipark from November to March. Herringen, Maxipark, and the former Radbod colliery keep illuminated Winterlaufstrecken ready. Cyclists swap fast crit legs for steadier base miles when paths turn wet, gravelly, and slick.
