Seenlandmarathon 2026

The Fürst Carl Seenlandmarathon is a road race in Pleinfeld, Bavaria’s Middle Franconia region, set around Brombachsee and the Franconian Lake District. It takes place in mid-September and includes a full marathon, half marathon, 5 km race, marathon relay, and company relay. The half marathon is also available as a walking or Nordic walking event, meaning the weekend caters to more than just runners aiming for a specific time. The course runs alongside the water, with lakes and ponds bordering the route. The event also features children’s and junior races. A sports fair and starter pack collection occur the day before the races, contributing to a small festival atmosphere before the main events. The race is organized by Seenlandmarathon OAI e.V., with Hubert Stanka noted as an organizer. Local accounts describe it as a professionally managed marathon event with a family atmosphere.
