Half Marathon races near Lüneburg

The Bramfelder Halbmarathon begins at the Gropiusring sports facility in Bramfeld, Hamburg. Established in 1992, this autumn road race provides three distance options: a half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km. Starting at 10:00 AM, it typically attracts slightly over 300 participants, giving it a community feel rather than that of a large city event. The course encircles Bramfelder See, a lake situated in Hamburg's north-east. Its flat terrain is suitable for runners aiming for a fast personal best. This event is ideal for those seeking a swift autumn run across various distances. Timing is managed by race result, and registration is available via the organizer's website.

The Süderelbe Halbmarathon through the Old Land is a German half marathon held at the CU Arena near Neugraben S-Bahn station in Hamburg. The main race proceeds from the arena to Neuenfelde and returns through the Old Land region, with the start and finish located in the same arena area. The event also features a 10 km run, a 5 km run, a 5 km walk, and a 1.2 km children's run, catering to runners, walkers, and families, not exclusively half-marathon specialists. The half-marathon course is nearly flat, entirely asphalted, and officially measured. This is significant for runners aiming for a personal best, as results from the measured course are recognized for rankings and qualification standards. Its out-and-back design simplifies the race: depart CU Arena, proceed through the Old Land to Neuenfelde, and then return to the same finish area. The race is considered a tradition locally, and its 50th edition signifies its established presence in the Süderelbe running schedule.
