Black Forest Marathon

Sunday October 12th, 2025
Braunlingen, Germany
Distance: Marathon · Half Marathon · 10K
Offical Race Web Site

The Black Forest Marathon, the world's oldest nature and women's marathon, is a legend and well known far beyond the borders of Europe. Since 1968, the Black Forest Marathon always takes place on the second weekend in October.You should just have run in Braunlingen. If not because of the long-standing tradition, then because of the small Zähringer town with the many attractions in the middle of the Black Forest.

By the way, the organizer even organizes an expert tour on Saturday. The hospitality is proverbial and the specialties varied. Believe it, Maultaschen, Schwarzwälder Kirsch, and ham taste better where the cuckoo clock announces the time, just better.

Generali Munich Marathon

Sunday October 12th, 2025
Munich, Germany
Distance: Marathon · Half Marathon · Marathon Relay · 10K
Offical Race Web Site

The GENERALI MUNICH MARATHON has held the elite label of the WORLD ATHLETICS since 2020 and the marathon route is officially measured and recognized.

The route runs from the Olympic Park and Schwabing to Leopoldstraße with the Siegestor, via Königsplatz and the Pinakotheken to the English Garden. From there past the Chinese Tower and Art Nouveau villas in Bogenhausen, through the east of Munich, past the Gasteig and over the Isar Bridge to the Deutsches Museum. Then it's off to the new route highlight, the Viktualienmarkt and Marienplatz! Then non-stop via the Bavarian State Opera and our residence to Odeonsplatz. The final sprint goes via the Theatinerkirche via Ludwigstraße back to the Olympic Stadium - to the Grand Final!

The goosebumps begin with the last 100 meters: in the large marathon gate, the runners immerse themselves in a scenario of fog, music, applause and loud cheers. The home straight of the Olympic Stadium are the final meters of the GMM 2022. Got it! That's what they say in Bavaria.

BY THE WAY: The course record of 2:09:46 has not been broken for 20 years. DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE?

Mohawk Hudson River Marathon

Sunday October 12th, 2025
Schenectady, New York
Distance: Marathon · Half Marathon
Offical Race Web Site

There's a saying around this part of New York: The path to Boston starts in Schenectady--that's because on average 30 percent of the Boston Marathon runners qualify at the Mohawk Hudson Marathon, that finishes up in Albany. This is a point-to-point course that is primarily flat and fast, with a net elevation loss of 370 feet. The half marathon uses the second half of the marathon course. The marathon is part of the Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club Grand Prix Series.

I vote for the Mohawk Hudson River Marathon that goes from Schenectady to Albany, New York. I qualified for Boston at the Mohawk as did about 30% of all runners.

The course

Race along the historic Mohawk and Hudson Rivers utilizing 18 miles of paved bikeways. The USATF certified course starts in Central Park in Schenectady and finishes on the bike path in downtown Albany. The course generally follows the Mohawk River, on paved bicycle trails, then proceeds to the Hudson River, via the historic city of Watervliet. The course passes immediately in front of the Watervliet Arsenal, the nation's only large bore cannon manufacturer. The historic munitions plant opened in 1813, and is still a major producer of munitions. Shortly after passing the Watervliet Arsenal it is back to the bike path for the final 5 miles along the historic Hudson River.

This is a point-to-point course that is primarily flat and fast, with a net elevation loss of 370 feet. The Hannaford Supermarkets Half Marathon uses the second half of the marathon course. Approximately two-thirds of the marathon course is on paved bike path, one-third on city streets. The bike path is not closed to public use and city streets are not closed to vehicular traffic. Participants are required to run or walk on the left shoulder of the road when using city streets, unless otherwise instructed by race or police officials. Please use caution. Both courses cross a freight railroad line. Trains are not on a schedule and their frequency cannot be predicted, Timing mats are provided to capture any delay by the train.

For your safety and the safety of all other runners, course officials and race volunteers, the use of headphones during the event is strongly discouraged.

Both races are run on certified courses (Marathon:USATF Certificate NY13094JG,Hannaford Supermarkets Half Marathon: USATF Certificate NY13095JG). The marathon is a Boston-qualifier.

The Marathon is part of the Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club Grand Prix Series.

The course will be open and supported for six hours (from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.).

Water and sports drink will be available approximately every two miles. GU will be available at two locations on the marathon course.

Portable toilets will be at each water stop beginning at mile 4 of the marathon.
