About the Uniper Düsseldorf Marathon

The Uniper Düsseldorf Marathon is back as a major city marathon on Germany's late-April calendar. It adds a clear coverage gap between Hamburg and other spring European races, with a central Rhine route and direct registration through Datasport.

Course

The marathon starts on Joseph-Beuys-Ufer beside the Rhine and moves through a city loop that includes the exhibition-area northbound section, Oberkassel, the Hofgarten, and a finish at Burgplatz.

Race-day weather

Late April in Düsseldorf is usually cool enough for hard running, but wind off the Rhine can matter. Runners should plan for mild temperatures, possible showers, and exposed bridge or riverfront sections.
