Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

For anyone that might be interested *waves at Mr K*, 25th Lanzarote Marathon in six weeks time (also half and 10K) lanzaroteinternationalmarathon.com

DeeGee, I ran Regensburg HM, they have a marathon too. The marathon is hundreds rather than thousands, but Regensburg is a lovely city (with the world's oldest sausage stall!) and easily accessible from Munich and Nuremburg. Among many other I have looked at (HMs, but also having a marathon) are the MittelRhein (North to Koblenz) and Rhine-Ruhr (Duisburg). Although - all these are spring.

I have a supercharged spring this year, so it's really Autumn I'm looking for.

I love Germany and there's absolutely no linguistic concern for me going in that direction. So long as there's a railway station, I'm good to go...

Might find the odd idea here marathon.de and here laufreport.de Munich and Magdeburg jump out. Or for something quite different, Schwarzwald.

And a Deutsches Marathon statfest here laufreport.de

I'm running Lucerne on Sunday, so will let you know my thoughts after that. Marathon is less than 2,000 people, plus 5,000 doing the half

Looks well set up so far

Lucerne is awesome! I did it last year, fly to Zurich and then a 1hr train journey straight into Lucerne it's a beautiful little city, everything you could want in a weekend away.
The course is two laps, start and finish in the City Center.

I can also recommend Cologne :)
