Half Marathon races near Niedernhausen

Volkslauf SV Traisa is a local running series in Mühltal-Traisa, offering adult races of 11 km and 13.1 miles. Both adult distances follow a rolling course, so runners should anticipate varied terrain instead of a flat, time-trial pace. All races conclude at the Sportplatz on Am Roten Berg in Mühltal. The event also features children’s and youth races, positioning it as a club race day rather than solely an adult competition.

The Offenbacher Mainuferlauf is a flat road race in Offenbach am Main, located at Mainufer/Mainstraße near the Mathildenschule. Held in October as part of the CupRennen series, it includes a half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, and 2 km race, with staggered starts throughout the morning. The 5 km is open to U14 and U16 runners and the Jedermann field, while the 2 km is for U10 and U12 children. The start and finish are in the same Mainufer area, and all courses are officially measured and entirely flat. Club and unattached runners are welcome.

Diethelm Kuttich, the organizational head, views it as a beneficial preparation event for the Mainova Frankfurt Marathon, held two weeks later.
