About the Event

Discover a hidden gem of German trail running at the Bergstadtmarathon Rüthen, a classic "Naturlauf" (nature run) set for Sunday, May 10, 2026. Located in the scenic Sauerland region, this event is renowned for its exceptionally beautiful and challenging courses that traverse the protected natural landscape of the Bibertal (Beaver Valley). Runners can expect a true trail adventure on winding forest paths, alongside clear streams, and through serene meadows, offering a peaceful escape into nature. While specific distances for the 2026 edition are not yet listed, the event traditionally features a demanding marathon (42.2 km) distance, known for its significant elevation gain and rewarding technical terrain that tests both endurance and agility. Organized by the local sports club, TSV Rüthen, the marathon embodies a community spirit, with passionate volunteers and a welcoming atmosphere for both seasoned trail runners and those new to the sport. The historic town of Rüthen, a certified "Bergstadt" (mountain town), provides a charming backdrop for the start and finish, adding cultural interest to the athletic challenge. For runners seeking an authentic, off-road marathon experience on pristine trails away from the crowds, this event is a perfect and picturesque choice in the heart of Germany.
