About the Leipzig Marathon

One of Germany's long-running city marathons, Leipzig combines the full distance with half, relay, inline, and shorter events around the Sportforum.

Course

Marathoners complete the measured urban circuit twice. The profile is quick, while repeated turns and the 2:30 first-lap cutoff demand consistent early pacing.

Race-day weather

April commonly brings cool, favorable air, but rain and wind are possible. Open avenues can feel exposed, and a sunny second lap may warm noticeably.
