hella Hamburg half-marathon

Half marathon across the city of Hamburg

In 2025, the 31st hella Hamburg Half Marathon will lead runners through the city of Hamburg. On a distance of 21.0975 kilometres they prove their running talent. This year, the starting signal will be given on the 29th June.

With over 10,000 runners last year, all participant records were easily broken. In 2023, at least this many athletes are expected to start. This makes the hella hamburg half-marathon one of Germany’s largest races of this type.

As every year, the skaters will begin at 9:30 a.m. and cover a distance of 21.1 km. At 10:00 a.m. on the dot, the starting shot for the runners will sound. Their course will take them on a sight-seeing tour through the Reeperbahn, past the Altona Rathaus, the Fischmarkt, the Alster or the jetty.
