Running Meet for 20 Years with LGO Bochum

A special feature of the Bochum Half Marathon: the preparation running meet, which takes place from May 12, 2026, in cooperation with LGO Bochum — a partnership celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2026. Those who have never run a half marathon can prepare for the event here.

Bermuda3Eck — City Run in an Urban Atmosphere

The Bermuda3Eck is Bochum's liveliest downtown area — three streets (Brüderstraße, Kortumstraße, Viktoriastraße) form a triangle with numerous bars, restaurants, and clubs. It's perfect as a start and finish area for a city run: short distances from Bochum Central Station, an urban, pulsating backdrop, and wide street space for thousands of runners.

Bochum — University City in the Ruhr Area

The independent city of Bochum, with its approximately 370,000 inhabitants, is one of the central major cities of the Ruhr area. Worth seeing are the German Mining Museum, the Schauspielhaus Bochum (theater), and the Bochum-Dahlhausen Railway Museum. With the Ruhr University Bochum as one of the largest universities in Germany, the city has a young, sports-enthusiastic population — and this mix makes the Stadtwerke Half Marathon a popular run that brings together hobby runners, students, and elite athletes.
