34.Bremer Bergmarathon ( als 8 h Edition )

The Bremer Bergmarathon is a race series in Bremen focused on accumulating vertical meters. It features an Ultra, Marathon, Half Marathon, and an 8-hour timed run. The 8-hour event begins at 8:00 AM on the old course, allowing participants up to eight hours to gain as much elevation as they choose; staying for the entire duration is not mandatory. The series transforms climbing into a running challenge, offering milestone awards at 1000, 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000, 15000 vertical meters, and further. The summer 8-hour run omits the Bremer Eiger Nordwand, though other races include it. Participants reaching 5000 vertical meters receive a T-shirt, 7500 meters a long-sleeved shirt, and 10000 meters a vest, each bearing the race’s emblem and the runner’s name.
