About EWE-Nordseelauf Wangerooge

The EWE-Nordseelauf is a unique stage race that connects the seven East Frisian Islands in one week. Wangerooge is the 6th stage and will be held on Friday, June 26, 2026. The run leads along dikes, through the Wadden Sea environment, and through the island village – right through the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Wadden Sea. From June 20 to 27, 2026, the entire field will run on all seven islands (Borkum, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog, and Wangerooge), with individual stages also bookable separately. On Wangerooge, runners can expect a particularly scenically impressive route that opens up the entire island panorama and conveys an authentic impression of the Wadden Sea habitat.

Seven Islands in One Week

The EWE-Nordseelauf is one of Germany's most extraordinary running projects: From June 20 to 27, 2026, runners will complete one stage on one of the East Frisian Islands on seven consecutive days. The journey begins in the west (Borkum) and ends in the east (Wangerooge), including all ferry crossings between the islands.

Wangerooge Stage on June 26

Wangerooge is the 6th stage and will be held on Friday, June 26, 2026. The route leads along the dikes, through the island village, and through the typical dune and salt marsh landscape that makes Wangerooge so special.

UNESCO World Natural Heritage as a Backdrop

The Wadden Sea has been a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site since 2009. Anyone running on Wangerooge is therefore running through one of Europe's most important nature reserves, with views of salt marshes, mudflats, flocks of birds, and the open sea.

Stage Package or Individual Stage

The run can be booked as a complete seven-stage package (including accommodation on the islands and ferry transfer) or as an individual stage. The Wangerooge stage is also open without booking the previous stages, making it attractive for Wangerooge's summer guests as well.

Car-Free Island

Wangerooge is a car-free island and is only accessible by ferry and island railway. The journey is part of the running experience.

EWE-Nordseelauf Wangerooge — edition 2026

On Friday, June 26, 2026, the 6th stage of the 2026 EWE-Nordseelauf starts on Wangerooge. The Seven-Island Run takes place from June 20 to 27, 2026, successively over Borkum, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog, and Wangerooge. On Wangerooge, the field runs along the dikes, through the island village, and through the dune and salt marsh landscape – right in the middle of the UNESCO Wadden Sea World Heritage site. Registration is via nordseelauf.com, either as an individual stage or as a complete seven-stage package. Arrival is by ferry from Harlesiel and by the Wangerooge island railway to the island village. The stage is particularly scenic and concludes the spectacular running journey in the east of the East Frisian island chain.

The 2026 edition brings the entire field to Wangerooge on Friday, June 26. The stage is the penultimate stop of the Seven-Island Run (the final stage follows the next day).

Wangerooge, with its car-free atmosphere and compact trails, is an ideal stage location. The route leads through the island village as well as through the natural areas, offering a comprehensive impression of the island.
