6th Stage of the Seven-Island Run through the UNESCO Wadden Sea
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 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.
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.
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.
Wangerooge is a car-free island and is only accessible by ferry and island railway. The journey is part of the running experience.
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.
