The KOBLENZ SPARKASSEN MARATHON will take place around the famouse monument “Deutsches Eck”, where Moselle flows into Rhine, in the 2000-year-old city in the heart of Germany, gateway to the romantic Rhine Valley.
All competitions start and finish in the Oberwerth stadium. You are leaving the oval through the marathon gate and finish with a final lap in the stadium.
The route is mostly flat (except for the bridge ramps), leading you through Koblenz city and the historic old town, pass the famous monument “Deutsches Eck” (not on the 10 km distance) in the suburbs. On the track you pass numerous sights such as Electoral Palace, City Theater, the home of the sparkling wine makers “Deinhard”, Basilica of St. Kastor, the residential tower “Deutscher Kaiser”, the Old Castle and the Balduin Bridge. The route leads mostly through closed roads, as well the waterfront promenades on the Rhine and Moselle.
The circuit is 21.1 km long. As a member of the Sparkassen Marathon, you run it twice. The good thing about it: You can also finish after one lap and receive an official Lotto Half Marathon rating. The 10 km Run or Walking/Nordic Walking will be held on parts of the marathon track.
Every 5 kilometers stations are provided. Water and iso-fit will be available at each station, plus cola and bananas at selected stations. Toilets are also provided on the track.
After the finish line there will be an extensive sports buffet. Here you will find a wide selection of drinks and snacks.
All participants of the Koblenz Sparkassen Marathon will receive medals and certificates.
Next to the Oberwerth stadium is the CGM Arena. That’s where the Marathon Fare takes place. On the race day you can safely deposit your bag here, using changing rooms, showers and toilets. A massage service will also be available on the day in the arena.
The sports facilities in the Koblenz Oberwerth Sport Park are signposted. A large car park is located beside the arena. Public transport is available. On the race day shuttle buses will be provided free from the main train station and a P+R car park. A reservation can be made.
For the smooth running and the punctual re-opening of the roads, the Sparkassen Marathon and Team Marathon has a time limit of 6 hours. Individual runners who need more than 2:30 h for the first lap will be eliminated from the race. You will receive an official Lotto Half Marathon rating.
