Recurring Marathon races near Munich

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Hardy's Stadtlauf Landsberg am Lech

Hardy's Stadtlauf Landsberg am Lech is a road running event in Landsberg am Lech, Bavaria, focusing on Hauptplatz and the old town by the Lech river. It takes place in early October, featuring a half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, Nordic walking, and shorter races for children and youth. The children's race is 800 meters, the youth race is 2 km, and the main races begin at midday. Hardy's Landsberg Freizeit & Event GmbH organizes the event, which caters to families and dedicated runners alike. The course consists of a 5 km loop set against the old town. The 10 km race involves two laps, and the half marathon requires four laps, with the initial lap measuring 6.1 km. Team competitions are available for groups of at least five participants running the same distance under a unified team name, allowing friends, clubs, companies, and families to compete together. Locally promoted as “Running on the Lech,” the event is now in its nineteenth year.

Ampermarathon Olching

The Ampermarathon Olching is a spring marathon in Olching, west of Munich, starting at the Amperverband on Josef-Kistler-Weg. It is a small local race rather than a huge city marathon, with entries capped in the few hundreds and places filling up. The program includes the full 42.195 km marathon, a relay marathon, a 14 km one-third marathon, and a 28 km two-thirds marathon. The course follows the Amper river through the Amperauen from Olching toward Dachau and back. Runners use a GPS-measured loop of 14.065 km, so marathoners run it three times while shorter-distance runners do fewer laps. The route is flat and uses a mix of gravel and asphalt paths through the Amper meadows. The race is organized by runners from the Bürgervereinigung Schwaigfeld in Olching, and spectators are welcome along the course.

MARATHON MÜNCHEN by Brooks

MARATHON MÜNCHEN is Munich’s official city marathon, with the full 42.195 km race run as one loop through the city and back to the Olympic Park. The main race starts on Spiridon-Louis-Ring and finishes at Willi-Daume-Platz, both inside the Olympic Park. The programme also includes a marathon relay, a half marathon, and a 10K, so the weekend works for first-time marathoners, teams of friends, shorter-distance runners, and people chasing a faster effort without committing to the full distance. The marathon route links several of Munich’s best-known places: Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz, the Siegestor, the English Garden, and the Olympic Park finish. The Werksviertel adds a louder, more modern stretch, with music, food spots, and heavy crowd support; it is also the starting area for the 10K at Knödelplatz. The half marathon starts in the Olympic Park, runs into the city center to Sendlinger Tor, and returns to the same Olympic Park finish. Around the races, the event includes a Saturday Friendship Run with Brooks and parkrun, Kids Run distances of 1.5 km and 3 km, and a Runners Festival at Hans-Jochen-Vogel-Platz.

About Marathon races in Munich

Munich Training Notes

Munich hosts 5 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 Olympiapark when they want structure, and Olympiaberg gives you clean hill sprints without leaving town. Englischer Garten carries easy Z2, steady laps, and a coffee stop at Fräulein Grüneis when the run is done. Nymphenburger Schloss works for long runs, with small rivers, bridges, and quiet early starts. Munich Running Buddies keeps the social runs going every week. runningsociety brings the sharper work, with RS Fight, RS Power, and RS Longfight on fixed days. München Marathon is the anchor event, and Oktoberfestlauf München, SportScheck RUN München, and Winterlaufserie München fill the calendar.

Locals ride the Isar, Perlacher Forst, Starnberger See, Ammersee, and Wörthsee for base miles that still feel close to the city. Munich to Dachau and Oberschleißheim and back rides relatively flat and easy. The south pulls groups through Perlacher Forst toward Deining, Endlhausen, and Sauerlach. Munich Social Cyclists keeps it social, and its day tours usually cover 45 to 60 km on cycle paths, quiet roads, and gravel tracks. Bici Bavarese, Pas Normal Studios Munich, 3 Mills Cycling & Coffee, Ryzon, Ciao Ciao, Rapha, Sturmvogel, RCSchwalben, and rtc münchen give you plenty of wheels to follow. The climbs sit toward Tegernsee, Wallgau to Walchensee, and Achenpass/Achenkirch.

July is the warmest month in Munich, and summer has warm to hot days with showers and thunderstorms. Locals still get the work done early, then use Englischer Garten, Isar, Perlacher Forst, and the lakes when the city heats up. Munich Social Cyclists starts its season in mid-March and rides until the first snows of December. Winter turns cold, but the city has no permanent snow cover, so running keeps moving through Olympiapark, Nymphenburger Schloss, and the Winterlaufserie München. The föhn can raise temperatures sharply within a few hours, even in winter.
