Fehmarn Marathon

Held on the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn in Germany, the Fehmarn Marathon is a multi-terrain running event for those who love the fresh air and don't mind a stiff breeze.

It's a family-friendly event offering races for all ages:

1.5km Minilauf (kids' run)
3.2km Doppelmeile (2-mile race)
11.2km Viertelmarathon (quarter marathon)
21.1km Halbmarathon (half marathon)
42.2km Marathon (marathon)
All races begin and end on the athletics track in Burg, the biggest settlement on the island.

The full marathon features a scenic single-loop course which takes the runners on mixed terrain (asphalt, gravel, dikes) around the beach resort of Burgtiefe, along the south coast and the east coast, and through the pancake-flat agricultural interior of the island.

Fehmarn is connected to the German mainland by a road and rail bridge. There are also ferry connections with Denmark.
