Friedberger Halbmarathon 2026

The Friedberger Halbmarathon is a 21.1 km road race in Friedberg, Bavaria, east of Augsburg, held in the first half of September. It begins and ends on Marienplatz, with the city organizing the event. The field is limited to 1,250 runners, making it a local race with a set cap rather than a large mass start. The course’s notable challenge is the Friedberger Berg, a climb with a 13 percent gradient. This hill gives the race a tougher character than a flat town half marathon, and it is the feature runners most likely recall when discussing the route. The event attracts many running enthusiasts from the region, with entry for the half marathon typically priced between 30 and 40 euros.
