Seven Islands, Seven Stages, One Week
The EWE Nordseelauf is one of Germany's most original running formats. In seven stages, the competition takes participants across a week from the westernmost East Frisian island of Borkum to the easternmost – Wangerooge (or vice versa, depending on the edition). Each island has its own stage with a different course profile between beach, dunes, promenades, and island town.
Norderney Stage on June 21, 2026
The Norderney stage of the 24th edition in 2026 takes place on Sunday, June 21. The start is at 12:30 PM, and the course is a classic 10 kilometers long, leading through typical Norderney scenery – promenade, dune paths, and island roads. Those who complete the entire stage week will cover over 70 kilometers in total.
2026 Motto: “Don't stop – run against violence”
This year's motto “Don't stop – run against violence” gives the race an additional message. The run positions itself against gender-based and domestic violence, calling on runners to show visible solidarity. Fundraising and awareness campaigns accompany the stages.
Sporting Experience and Island Tour
Anyone completing the full Nordseelauf experiences a week of sports and island tourism. Accommodation on changing islands, ferry crossings, catering, and route planning are elaborately organized. Individual stage starts are also possible for day participants – the Norderney stage is thus a single running event for island guests or day visitors.
