Stadtwerke Halbmarathon Bochum 2026

The Stadtwerke Halbmarathon Bochum is a city street race held in Bochum, Germany, typically in late summer or early September. The primary event is a 21.1 km half marathon commencing on Viktoriastraße. The event also offers 10 km, 5 km, and children’s races, catering to club runners, casual adult participants, families, and school-aged individuals.

The children's events include a 2.1 km race, broadening the scope beyond just the half marathon.
