Marktplatz Altenburg
The 16. Skatstadtmarathon brings runners and walkers to the historic heart of Altenburg for a varied day of racing across multiple distances. Start and finish take place on the Marktplatz Altenburg, creating a vibrant atmosphere complemented by a cultural programme and strong local support. True to its motto, die anspruchsvolle Herausforderung in Altenburg, the event offers routes from children’s runs to a full marathon, with professional timing and on-course support.
Participants benefit from well-marked courses with refreshments, secure baggage facilities at the nearby Goldener Pflug, hot showers and an included warm meal and drink after finishing. A high-quality medal awaits finishers, and free post‑race massage is available on request. The marathon features a 6:30 time limit and a defined second-lap closure, while walking categories are timed but not ranked competitively, keeping the day welcoming for a broad community of participants.
