About Wolfsburg Marathon
The Hexad Wolfsburg Marathon offers runners a flat, fast city circuit past the Volkswagen factory, the Volkswagen Arena, the Phaeno Science Center, the Kunstmuseum, and Wolfsburg Castle. The date for 2026 is expected to be in mid-April — according to the organizer, the 2026 edition is currently not yet definitively confirmed.
Four distances are offered: Marathon (42.195 km), Half Marathon (21.0975 km), 10 km, and 5 km. The course is designed as a circuit and is completed multiple times depending on the distance — a format that combines good conditions for personal bests and an attractive course experience.

An Urban Running Format
Wolfsburg is particularly well-suited for city runs: a compact city center, clear axes, minimal elevation changes, and an urban ensemble that is unique in Germany. Volkswagen factory, Volkswagen Arena, Phaeno, Kunstmuseum, Wolfsburg Castle, Allerpark — hardly any other German city offers such striking architecture in such a small area.
The Course
The Hexad Wolfsburg Marathon utilizes this advantage and leads participants on a flat circuit through the city center. The marathon distance is achieved through multiple laps to reach 42.195 km; the Half Marathon, 10 km, and 5 km complete fewer laps accordingly. This format simplifies aid stations, course marshals, and atmosphere — as spectators can cheer for the same participants multiple times.
Four Distances
- Marathon (42.195 km).
- Half Marathon (21.0975 km).
