Running between Havenwelten and the city center
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.
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.
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.
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.
On September 6, 2026, the 22nd GLOMB City Marathon Bremerhaven starts. On the flat, fully asphalted circuit through Bremerhaven, the marathon, half marathon, 10-kilometer run, a 7-kilometer run, a relay marathon, as well as children's and youth runs are on the program. The run is organized by Execute Sports Events.
Additionally, children's and youth runs will be offered (details and start times in the official announcement). The schedule may change at short notice – the official participant information is decisive.
The start of all main races is at the Bürgermeister-Smidt-Gedächtniskirche (Große Kirche) in the city center. The flat, asphalted course leads across the Geeste through the south of the city to the dike, with a turn-around in the harbor area, and back past the lighthouse and zoo. The marathon runs 4 laps, the half marathon 2 laps. The run is accompanied by a sports and health fair in the Havenwelten.
As part of the event, a corporate and public sector run will also be held in 2026.
