SWE Halbmarathon Ettlingen 2026

The SWE Halbmarathon Ettlingen is a hilly half marathon held in Ettlingen, near Karlsruhe in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Typically taking place in early August, the race begins and ends at Horbachpark, with the Albgauhalle used as the event venue. The primary race covers 21.1 km and is characterized as a scenic run with a rolling profile and approximately 380 meters of elevation gain, distinct from a flat city half marathon. The course connects various Ettlingen districts at different elevations, ascending towards Spessart, Schollbronn, and Schluttenbach before looping back via shaded forest trails. Participants gain perspectives over the Rhine plain, though the route demands endurance on its ascents. SSV Ettlingen is the organizing body, and the half-marathon distance is open to walkers and Nordic walkers. The event also includes children's and youth races preceding the main half marathon, with local sponsors and volunteers contributing to the day's operations.
