Hamburg Half Marathon (PSD Bank)

Are you ready for a heroic adventure in the heart of Hamburg? 🤩 The Blankenese Hero Run awaits you in the district of Blankenese, known for the Süllberg towering above the houses and the Unterfeuer Lighthouse 🗼. It's a road race, also known as the Blankenese Hero Run, offering the refreshing riverside experience 💦. Yes, Hamburg is a city built on the banks of the Elbe 🏞️, the grand river that flows through Bohemia. To get straight to the point: you're probably wondering what this race has to offer 🏃‍♂️. If you're visiting Germany 🇩🇪, you have 5 events to choose from: a 6.5 km run where youth and kids can feel like adults! 👧 You’ll run almost 2.5 km along the riverbanks! For a similar distance but more challenging, you can join the 6.8 km run! 🤯 Beware, this distance is fondly referred to as the "Mountain Goat"! 🐐 If you love the burning in your calves, this is your dream race! You could also tackle the 11 km (PS: rumor has it that this is the perfect format for hill s

prints)! 💪 The Blankenese Hero Run offers not one but two 21.1 km routes! Half-marathon lovers will rejoice 🤪, but how does one choose! Well, those who prefer a more relaxed pace should opt for the "sutsche" 😇 format, while those eager to shine on hills and surprise climbs can sign up for the "derbe" format 🤠.

Dreaming of a little trip to Hamburg? 🌇 If you love running, even better! How about adding a new race to your running calendar, and that race is the Köhlbrandbrückenlauf! 🎡 Yes, good luck pronouncing it if you're not German! 😅 To give you a bit more insight, it's a road race spanning 12.3 km right in the heart of Hamburg! 💝 Have you ever run on a suspension bridge? 🌉 No? Well, come October, it’s your chance to participate in the largest "Brückenlauf" (bridge race) in Germany 🇩🇪. Picture yourself, along with about 6,000 other runners, defying gravity and traffic laws as you cross the Köhlbrandbrücke 🥨, a giant 3.6 km long and 53 meters high, linking Hamburg’s port with the Speicherstadt 👀. All of this happens once a year, on German Unity Day. It's like having a VIP spot on a Formula 1 circuit 🏎️, but with sneakers instead of an engine... And if you're wondering why you should go, let us give you a few reasons to lace up your shoes and book your ticket ✈️.
