Pro tips

  1. 01

    Flat means even splits

    With only around 40 meters of climbing over the half marathon, treat this as a time trial and aim for even splits. There is no need to hold anything back for late hills.

  2. 02

    Cold Easter start

    A typical race-day temperature of 4.8°C means a cold Easter Saturday. Warm up properly, wear disposable layers to the start and shed them once you are moving.

  3. 03

    Twisting city streets

    The route winds through both historic and modern streets, so expect turns rather than long straights. Look up the course beforehand so you can hold your rhythm through the corners.

    Run with the crowds

    As Germany's oldest street race, it draws strong community support and a festive crowd. Use the noise on the busier sections rather than going out hard on your own.
