The magnificent low mountain range landscape of the Schmallenberg Sauerland is once again the backdrop for this year's increasingly popular FALKE Rothaarsteig Marathon. Trail running fans can expect a run along the natural paths of the Rothaarsteig and an event with a particularly familiar atmosphere.
In addition to the obligatory 42 km route, marathon runners also have to master 838 meters of altitude. Half marathon aspirants still have a challenging 21 km and 421 m difference in altitude to contend with. Walking and Nordic walking are also on offer for the half marathon distance. There is also the AOK run over 12.5 km. Refreshment points with fruit and drinks will be available to runners approximately every five kilometers.
Participants and spectators can also look forward to a varied supporting program. These include massages, slide shows, live coverage of the races, sports equipment stands and over 100 cakes lovingly baked by some of the more than 150 volunteers.
The Schmallenberg Sauerland Tourist Information Office will be happy to help visitors find suitable accommodation.
