Megamarsch Ruhrgebiet 50/12 bei Nacht 2026

The Megamarsch Ruhrgebiet 50/12 bei Nacht begins at 6:00 PM from Hallostraße 50 in Essen, Germany. Participants embark on a 50-kilometer hike through the night. This event is part of the Megamarsch series organized by hundert24 GmbH, which holds events in numerous German cities. The Ruhrgebiet edition focuses on completing the walk rather than racing against time. There is no official timing; the objective is to cover the full distance before morning. The participant field is relatively small for an endurance event, typically ranging from 301 to 500 participants, with one past edition seeing 345 finishers. Registration is offered in several ways: online in advance, by phone, in person before the event, or on the day of the event. The event is positioned between an ultradistance walk and a low-key endurance test. The 50/12 designation reflects the core concept: a long night spent walking 50 kilometers alongside others undertaking the same challenge.
