Recurring Half Marathon races near Neuss
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.
NRZ Klosterlauf
The NRZ Klosterlauf is a running event held at Kloster Kamp in Kamp-Lintfort, named after its monastery location. Team Niederrhein organizes the event, which is part of the NRZ-Heimatläufer race series. Registration is available online and, in some years, also on-site.
The race is also included in the NRZ-Heimat-Dreilauf and has historically concluded the NRZ-Heimatläufer season. This event has a long local history, with its 30th edition already held. Demand can be high; places in the Heimatläufer series have previously sold out within hours.
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.
Marathon de Cologne
The Marathon de Cologne takes place in early October in Cologne, Germany, offering a full marathon, half marathon, relay marathon, and a school marathon. The main marathon is a 42.195 km road race on mostly asphalt. The shorter and team formats attract runners seeking the city's atmosphere without the full distance. It ranks among Germany’s larger marathon events, with the day emphasizing crowd energy and local cheers as much as fast racing.
The marathon begins at Ottoplatz in Deutz, crossing the Deutzer Bridge toward Cologne Cathedral. The course is a flat single loop through the historic center and adjacent districts, featuring wide streets, no sustained climbs, and minor elevation changes of approximately 42 to 53 meters above sea level. Participants will pass the Rhine promenade, the Sport and Olympia Museum, the Kranhäuser, the Bismarck Column, Severinstraße, Sülz, Dürener Straße, Aachener Weiher, Ehrenfeld, Neusser Straße in Nippes, and Rudolfplatz multiple times. Neumarkt provides a significant crowd late in the race, and the consistent course profile appeals to runners aiming for controlled pacing or a quick finish.
47. Geilenkirchener Volkslauf und 34. Halbmarathon
The Geilenkirchener Volkslauf und Halbmarathon is a running event in Geilenkirchen-Gillrath, Germany, organized by DJK-Gillrath e. V. It combines a long-standing Volkslauf with a half marathon, offering options for both recreational runners and those seeking a full 21.1 km challenge. The event also features a 10 km run, 10 km walking and Nordic walking, a 4 km run, youth races of 0.8 km and 2.5 km, and a short Bambini race for the youngest participants.
All races conclude at Sportplatz Gillrath, with bib collection available at the competition office on the sports field prior to the start. The half marathon course is flat, making the longer distance straightforward rather than technically demanding. The 4 km course is wheelchair accessible, and the 2.5 km and 4 km races incorporate a competition for individuals with disabilities. The half marathon and 10 km run contribute to a five-year series ranking, and most running races also feed into the RAC ranking, providing local, regular runners with motivation to return beyond a single race day.
54. Herbstlauf des LSV Porz
The Herbstlauf des LSV Porz is an established autumn race day in Köln-Porz-Eil, with its 54th edition centered at the Haus des Waldes at Gut Leidenhausen. The event offers multiple distances: runners can select 5 km, 10 km, or a half marathon, and walkers and Nordic walkers have a 5 km option.
Separate races for students are available over 1 km, 5 km, and 10 km. LSV Porz organizes the event, with registration managed via time-and-voice.com. All finishers will receive a commemorative medal. Dogs are prohibited on the course, and the event is not wheelchair accessible.
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.
Siebengebirgsmarathon
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.
42. Winterserie des LSV Porz 2. Lauf
The Winterserie des LSV Porz 2. Lauf is the second race in LSV Porz’s winter running series in Köln-Porz. It begins in the morning and provides several straightforward, practical distances: 1 km for school students, 5 km, 10 km, and 15 km, plus a 5 km Nordic Walking and walking option. The event is approved by the German athletics federation and officially measured, allowing results to count for ranking lists.
The route circles Gut Leidenhausen, with the meeting point at Haus des Waldes. The field is intended to accommodate a wide range, from beginners and walkers to experienced runners using the measured course for a serious effort. Series finishers receive a trophy or towel when they submit their series bib, while students in the 1 km race get an additional commemorative medal at the first winter run. Dogs are not permitted, and the event is listed as not barrier-free.

About Half Marathon races in Neuss
Neuss Training Notes
Neuss hosts 37 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 Neuss in a simple rhythm: through the green, then straight through town. The route runs 3 km one way off Rheinallee. Stadtgarten sits just south of the Clemens Sels Museum when you want easy laps close to the city centre. Rennbahnpark and the Galopprennbahn Neuss sports complex add more trail time without making it complicated. Laufsport Bunert Neuss keeps the Mondscheinrun vibe alive, and DJK Novesia Lauftreff meets Tuesdays at 19:00 on the Erftlaufstrecke. The 8. Neusser Integrationslauf, Silvesterlauf Neuss, Firmenlauf Neuss, 42. Neusser Sommernachtslauf, and 53. Neusser Erftlauf give the calendar its anchor event feel.
Locals ride road and gravel here with Lemon Cycling Club, and the club keeps weekday rounds in that useful 40-60 km pocket. The 46km After-Work Halde Runde covers 46 km and climbs 230 m, so the Halde is the obvious place to look when you want some sting. The 52km After-Work Halde Runde goes 52 km and climbs 270 m, while the 60km Vollrather-Höhe Groupride goes 59 km with 280 m. The 85km Hügel Tour Mettmann-Baldene brings 580 m, and the Kölner Alpen route packs 950 m into 92 km. The Sunny Sunday Ride covers 105 km with 420 m, and the 44. Büttgener Herbst-RTF and Büttger Brevet sit nicely as bigger targets.
May, June, September, October, and March suit Neuss best, because base miles feel steady and intervals do not cook you. Summer gives runners Rheinpark mornings, Stadtgarten shade, and evening races like the 39. Rosellener Abendlauf or Düsseldorf Night Run. Sunday is forecast from 17°C to 27°C, so locals keep hard work early and leave Z2 for later if the legs are honest. Winter shifts both sports toward shorter loops, night runs, and practical group rides. The city centre still works, the Erftlaufstrecke still works, and Lemon Cycling Club still has the kind of after-work rounds that keep fitness ticking.
