48. Monschau Marathon 2026

The Monschau Marathon takes place on a late summer weekend in Monschau-Konzen, North Rhine-Westphalia, near the Belgian border. Alongside the marathon, the event offers K56 and K70 ultramarathon distances. It is designed for runners seeking hills, extended distances, and scenic countryside over a flat, fast course. The course crosses the Eifel region and includes sections of the High Fens. Monschau, a historic cloth-making town situated in the Rur valley, serves as a distinctive feature. The organizers refer to it as a "pleasure marathon," emphasizing an appreciation for the landscape and local community. TV Konzen 1922 e.V. organizes the event, which is frequently described by them as one of Germany's most scenic landscape runs.
