4 Moore Ultratrail-Marathon
Le marathon du Brocken
Le marathon du Brocken is a mountain trail race held in Schierke, a village in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, bordering the Harz National Park. Taking place in early October, it provides 10 km, 26 km, and 39 km distances, allowing participants to select a route from a shorter forest trail to a demanding mountain run. The race, established in 1978, centers on a single objective: ascending the Brocken, the highest peak in the Harz.
The course follows winding trails through the national park’s forests, with the longer distances guiding runners towards open vistas near the summit. It is suited for trail runners seeking climbs, varied terrain, and a more natural environment than a road marathon. The Brocken summit defines the event; participants are not merely running a distance but ascending a renowned peak in a cherished German upland area.
48. Harz-Gebirgslauf
The Harz-Gebirgslauf begins in Wernigerode on the second weekend of October, leading runners and walkers into the Harz National Park. The Brocken-Marathon is its main attraction, described by organizers as North Germany's most challenging marathon because of the ascent of the Brocken, the area's highest peak. The event also features a half marathon, 11 km, 5 km, and 2 km races, a Brockenkinder children's run, and 11 km and 25 km routes for hiking and Nordic walking.
The event originated in 1978, with border restrictions limiting the inaugural field to 300 participants despite 1,200 applications. The first edition provided 10, 26, and 39 km courses for both walkers and runners, and the race quickly became the second most popular public sports event in the GDR, after the Rennsteiglauf. Currently, almost 4,000 running enthusiasts gather in Wernigerode. Finishers are awarded medals, and the weekend program includes a brief preview run and a leisurely breakfast run to Wernigerode Castle.
34. Wendlandmarathon
The Wendlandmarathon is a road-running event held in Kolborn, near Lüchow, within Germany’s Lüchow-Dannenberg district of the Lüneburg region. The event features a marathon as its main race, complemented by a half marathon, a 10 km race, and a 5 km race, allowing participants to choose a distance suitable for their readiness.
IGAS Wendland organizes and presents the event, which is classified as a non-stadium athletics competition. Participants are divided into children, youth, open, and masters categories. Younger participants compete in shorter road races, while older youth have the option to progress through the 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, and marathon distances.
Hannover Halbmarathon H/21
The Hannover Halbmarathon H/21 begins and concludes at the Schillerdenkmal in the city center, directly connecting the race to Hannover’s downtown streets from the start. This 21.0975 km half marathon begins in the late morning, with Nordic walkers starting later. It is a popular event in Hannover, requiring participants to be at least 16 years old.
The route circles through Hannover’s neighborhoods, such as Linden and Nordstadt, passing through green areas and active urban sections. The entire course is marked and secured, featuring aid stations along the way and at the finish line. Results are recorded using net chip timing, and a permanent ranking list allows returning runners to track their progress over the years. The race operates under the supervision of the Niedersächsischer Leichtathletik Verband, with bag drop and changing facilities available on Friedrichswall near Aegidientorplatz.
Wendlandmarathon (Wendland-Marathon) Kolborn
The Wendlandmarathon Kolborn is a road running event held in Lüchow, Lower Saxony, within Germany’s Wendland region. Its program spans from the full marathon down to short children’s races. First run in 1993, it is organized by IGAS Wendland Laufbewerbe. The main schedule commences with the marathon and marathon relay in the morning, followed by the half marathon, 10 km, and 5 km races, accommodating both long-distance runners and local families.
The event features a measured AIMS/IAAF-standard course with kilometer markers and refreshment stations along the route, plus a final refreshment point at the finish. Participants can register online in advance or in person during race weekend. The organizers manage timing internally. Practical amenities contribute to the event's appeal, including parking, showers, changing rooms, printed and online certificates, and finisher medals for children.
Schloss Marienburg Marathon
The Schloss Marienburg Marathon takes place in a hilly landscape near Nordstemmen-Adensen, in Lower Saxony, close to Hanover. It typically occurs in mid-to-late November, with the marathon serving as the central event of a local running festival organized by VfL Adensen-Hallerburg. Participants can select from a full marathon, half marathon, relay marathon, or a 21 km option for walking or Nordic walking.
The route follows a circuit through the countryside surrounding Adensen and Hallerburg, extending both northwest and southeast of the villages. The event is associated with the Schloss Marienburg name and marketed as a castle-themed run, emphasizing its setting in rural Lower Saxony rather than a large urban marathon. An account from a previous edition described freezing temperatures before the start, consistent with the late-autumn timing and adding a challenging aspect beyond its modest village location.
Schloss Marienburg Marathon
The Schloss Marienburg Marathon is a small running event held in November in Nordstemmen, Lower Saxony, Germany. Schloss Marienburg lends its name and provides the local setting for the race. Participants can choose the full marathon (42.2 km) or the half marathon (21.1 km). The event also features Nordic Walking and a relay race. The marathon begins at 10:00 AM and is organized by VfL Adensen-Hallerburg.
This is not a large city marathon; participation is expected to be in the low hundreds, around 301 to 500 people. It functions more as a local club-organized race weekend, accommodating solo marathoners, half-marathon runners, relay teams, and walkers within the same event centered around Nordstemmen.
Dennis-Fabian-Dirk-Karin-Arne-Etappen-Marathon
The Dennis-Fabian-Dirk-Karin-Arne-Etappen-Marathon is a 42.2 km marathon held in Wilsche, a village in Lower Saxony, Germany. The start address is An der Masch 4, with the listed start time being 11:00 AM. This event takes place in late November, distinguishing it from spring or summer city marathons.
The organizer is VfR Wilsche/Neubokel Laufbewerbe, suggesting a race organized by a local club centered around a full marathon. The published course details confirm the classic marathon length but do not include a route profile, elevation notes, or surface breakdown. Registration is managed via the organizer’s website, and HDsports provides race materials such as start lists, participant lists, rankings, results, photos, reports, and articles from previous editions.

About Marathon races in Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg Base Miles
Wolfsburg hosts 17 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 Allerpark when they want easy laps, steady Z2, or a 5 km check-in. Allerpark parkrun starts every Saturday at 9:00 am and keeps it simple: walk, jog, run, help, or watch. The loop is 7 km with 19 meters of gain before it circles Allersee lake. The full loop is 14 km with 31 meters of gain. VfL Wolfsburg connects into the local race calendar. Windmuehlenberglauf Wolfsburg-Fallersleben, Tomoritzlauf Wolfsburg, and Wolfsburg Staffellauf are the anchor names.
Locals ride the city like a practical bike town, with Allerpark, the Mittellandkanal, Fallersleben, Vorsfelde, and Wilsche-Neubokel doing most of the work. They ride 3 km when they want an easy spin, not a gran fondo. ADFC and VCD are already in the cycling conversation with the city, and the digital bicycle city map is useful for lanes, parking, dealers, and recreational routes. Fallersleben station is getting Bike and Ride space, with 34 north-side spaces, 106 south-side spaces, and a 24-space bicycle garage on the south side. The climbs stay modest because Wolfsburg sits at the southern edge of the Aller valley by the Mittellandkanal.
April gives runners the driest month, so locals use it for clean base miles, sharper intervals, and early race legs. July brings the warmest weather, and July and August bring the wettest stretch, so summer runs around Allersee and rides along the Mittellandkanal feel best early. The city centre stays useful when the heat builds, because short loops make pacing easy. Winter changes the mood more than the map, with parkrun still holding the Saturday rhythm and flat routes staying friendly for Z2. Locals trade long, loose evenings for steadier work, crosslauf dates, and cyclocross-style riding when paths get messy.
