Juliane Werding Marathon am 19.07.2026 (70. Geburtstag!)(Teichwiesen)

On July 19, 2026, the Juliane Werding Marathon celebrates its return on what would have been the legendary German pop and Schlager singer's 70th birthday. This special day is dedicated to runners who wish to complete a marathon in accordance with the rules set forth by the 100 Marathon Club Deutschland, making it an event that focuses more on achievement than competition.
The race takes place within the picturesque Volksdorfer Teichwiesen Nature Reserve, offering participants a scenic and serene environment. The course is meticulously designed as a loop of approximately 2.583 kilometers per lap, with runners completing up to sixteen full laps for the standard marathon distance or choosing an extended route that totals fifty kilometers.
Participants will be racing against the backdrop of lush greenery and tranquil waters, making this event not only about athletic achievement but also about enjoying the beauty of nature. The race is run in a counterclockwise direction around the looped course, ensuring runners have stunning views throughout their journey.
Registration for the Juliane Werding Marathon opens with an early deadline on July 14, 2026, at midnight. Interested participants are encouraged to contact Christian Hottas of Fun & Erlebnis Marathons two or three days before the race start time to receive detailed instructions and confirm their participation.
The entry fee is a modest €5 per runner, payable in cash upon arrival at the starting line. Despite this small cost, it's important for runners who cancel after the deadline date to still honor this payment as part of their commitment to the event.
While there are no official food or drink stations provided along the course, participants are advised to bring their own supplies and ensure they stay hydrated throughout the race day. The marathon does not impose any time limits on completion, allowing runners to pace themselves according to personal preference and endurance levels.
It's worth noting that while the event offers a unique opportunity for both seasoned athletes and recreational runners alike, there will be no locker rooms or showers available at the venue due to logistical constraints within the nature reserve. Additionally, participants should be aware of the lack of liability coverage by organizers regarding accidents, injuries, thefts, or other damages.
The Juliane Werding Marathon promises a memorable experience for all who partake in this special tribute to an iconic figure in German entertainment history. Whether you're aiming for personal best times or simply enjoying the scenic route and celebratory atmosphere, this event is designed with runners' enjoyment at its core.
This unique race offers more than just a challenge; it's an opportunity to celebrate Juliane Werding’s enduring legacy while experiencing one of Germany’s most beautiful natural settings. Runners are invited to join in on July 19th and create their own memorable moments along the scenic Volksdorfer Teichwiesen loop.
