München Marathon 2026

Munchen, Germany, 11 Oct 2026

This single-lap city marathon starts and finishes in the Olympic Park and threads together central Munich landmarks including Siegestor, Marienplatz, the English Garden, the Isar crossing and the Werksviertel. The organisers present it as suitable for ambitious runners and recreational athletes, with a fully measured road course and a long urban run that demands sustained pacing across changing city districts. It also carries the character of Munich’s renewed marathon format, returning in 2026 on the same one-lap route introduced under the new event concept.
