Set against the picturesque backdrop of Calenberg and Leinebergland, this scenic marathon offers runners an immersive journey through diverse landscapes. Organized by veteran runner Heiner Schütte, the race is tailored for seasoned athletes looking to challenge themselves with a slightly larger event on the Saturday before All Souls' Day. However, it also welcomes newcomers due to its varied terrain and manageable route. The 21.1 km course weaves through charming village streets, undulating fields both paved and unpaved, winding forest paths, and rugged trails. A standout feature is the refreshment station located in the inner courtyard of Marienburg Castle, where runners can take a momentary respite amidst historic surroundings. In case of logistical adjustments, this stop may be relocated just outside the castle grounds. The looped course design means that participants pass through Adensen three times to reach each checkpoint, ensuring an engaging and familiar route layout. The ascent up Marienberg and Harberg mountains adds an element of elevation gain, with approximately 560 meters in total vertical climb providing a test for runners' endurance and leg strength. On days when the weather cooperates, panoramic views stretch across Calenberger Land towards Hannover, offering breathtaking vistas that complement the physical challenge. Post-race festivities include opportunities to refuel at local eateries and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow participants. The event’s comprehensive support extends beyond the race day, fostering a welcoming community for all runners.

Join us as we celebrate another year of this beloved marathon, where every stride takes you through history and beauty alike.
