About
The race
This scenic town, home of the WVV Würzburg Marathon, straddles the Main River and is renowned for its art, architecture and delicate wines. A large student population guarantees a lively scene, and plenty of hip nightlife pulsates through its cobbled streets. With that being said, the WVV Marathon Würzburg is the place to be! The WVV Marathon Würzburg will start at 9:00 am.. More than 6.000 participants enjoy this marathon in spring that leads in his two rounds past many of Würzburg's architectural monuments.
Before you go
Pro tips
Racing it
- 01
Two Laps, One Course
The course leads in two rounds past many of Würzburg's architectural monuments. Run the first lap controlled and treat the second pass as your chance to push, since you already know what is coming.

Sort Out the Start Time
The course listing gives a 06:00 start while the race description says 9:00 am. Settle which applies before race morning so your travel, warm-up and breakfast are timed to the right start.

Mild Spring Conditions
Typical race-day temperature here is 15.7°C, which is pleasant running weather. If the start is at 06:00 the air will be noticeably cooler than midday, so plan layers you can drop.

In Würzburg
Leave the Car Behind
Würzburg's old town sits on the Main and is compact enough to walk end to end. On race day, trams and your own two feet are the reliable options, since the streets near the river and the center fill with runners and spectators.
Best Vantage Points
The Alte Mainbrücke and the Main riverbank are the classic spots to watch the field go by, and the Residenz with its gardens is a short walk away for a change of scene between viewings.
Wine Town Recovery
This is Franconian wine country with a large student population, so the old town stays lively into the evening. A gentle walk up through the vineyards toward Marienberg Fortress is the local way to shake out a marathon.
