Blankeneser Heldenlauf (Blankeneser Hero Run)

One of the most beautiful running routes in Germany leads through Blankenese, the Hamburg idyll on the Elbe. Here you will find charming waterfront promenades, spacious parks, feudal patrician villas next to white fishing houses, picturesque hills, steep stairs and always overwhelming views of the sparkling Elbe and imposing ships. Fascinating landmarks in this traditional cult race include the start on the Strandweg / Elbuferweg, the Wesselhoefft-, Derby- and Hirschpark, the glorious Elbchaussee, the historic Treppenviertel, the striking Süllberg and the green Falkenstein with the Roman Garden and the rising and falling Elbhöhenweg. Even the spectacle of the Elbe provides a delightful change: sometimes sluggish gray pulling, sometimes curled by gusts, sometimes silvery shiny.

For the arrival to the Blankeneser running event, there will be a ship shuttle for the first time, which will be provided by our new sponsor FRS HanseFerry. For as much as € 10.00 you can drive back on the day of the event from the St. Pauli landing bridges to Blankeneser ferry dock and at noon or afternoon again.
