City Run on the North Sea Coast
If you love flat, fast courses, the GLOMB City Marathon Bremerhaven is your race: the start and finish are in the Havenwelten – the maritime experience district with the Klimahaus, Auswandererhaus, and German Emigration Center that has made Bremerhaven famous beyond the region. From here, the course leads in a flat loop through the city center and along the Havenwelten.
Four Competitions for Every Level
The event offers the marathon, half marathon, a 10-kilometer run, and a relay competition over 5-kilometer sections. The largely flat circuit makes the event attractive for both ambitious time hunters and beginners and teams. The compact course layout around the Havenwelten ensures that spectators can cheer on the participants at multiple points.
Maritime Running Experience
Organized by Execute Sports Events, the run has established itself as a regular fixture in the North German running calendar since 2005. The combination of a maritime backdrop, city experience, and a fast course makes it a popular destination for runners from all over the North.
Meeting Point in the Seestadt
The Havenwelten not only form the backdrop but also the center of a running weekend with a sports and health fair. This makes the City Marathon a social meeting point where Bremerhaven showcases its maritime side.
