Weihnachtszauber Hamburg 2026

Weihnachtszauber Hamburg begins and ends at Braugasthof Altes Mädchen in the Schanzenviertel, sending participants through Hamburg in December with a Christmas-market theme. It is a flexible city event: participants can choose 8 km, 10 km, 15 km, or 20 km, with staggered starts from midday into the early afternoon. The route passes up to 16 Christmas markets; longer options turn the day into a tour of Hamburg’s Advent stalls. Nord-Marsch Sportevents UG organizes the event, now in its sixth edition. The start package includes a Winterzauber cup and a Christmas medal, and the format suits runners, walkers, and hikers, not just those seeking a fast time.
