Hamburg (Germany)
Organized by the 100 Marathon Club Deutschland, the Öjendorfer See Marathon takes place in Hamburg-Öjendorf on the eastern edge of Hamburg, Germany's second-largest city.
The event is held seven times per year:
- Saturday, 4 February 2017
- Saturday, 4 March 2017
- Saturday, 1 April 2017
- Saturday, 9 September 2017
- Saturday, 7 October 2017
- Saturday, 4 November 2017
- Thursday, 28 December 2017
Last year, each event had, on average, 100 finishers. Among these are usually some highly experienced runners. You may meet athletes who have completed well over 1,000 marathons!
The route is a 3,776-metre loop on hard-packed gravel paths around the Öjendorfer See, a very pretty bathing lake that is surrounded by woods and parkland.
In addition to the 42.2km marathon (eleven laps plus 660m in the first lap), each event offers two shorter races, 22.66km (six laps) and 11.33km (three laps).
The entry fees are very low — between eight and fifteen euros.
All races kick off at 9am. The time limit to complete the course is six hours. Runners with an expected finishing time above five and a half hours can, by arrangement with the race organizers, start one hour earlier (at 8am).
