Half Marathon races near Oberschleißheim

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.
