FALKE Rothaarsteig-Marathon
About this event
The FALKE Rothaarsteig-Marathon takes runners through the forested ridges and valleys of the Rothaar Mountains in North Rhine-Westphalia. Following the renowned Rothaarsteig trail and connecting paths, the course winds through classic German highland terrain with steady climbs and descents that demand good pacing. Three distances are on offer — 12km with 464 metres of elevation, 22km with 638 metres, and the full 41km marathon with 1,065 metres — each showcasing the region's quiet woodlands and open ridge lines. Based in the village of Fleckenberg, this mid-October event suits runners comfortable with sustained elevation and technical trail sections. The varied terrain and changing autumn colours make it a rewarding challenge for those seeking a proper mountain trail experience in western Germany.
