The 16. Tangermünder Elbdeichmarathon offers a nature-focused running experience along the River Elbe, with routes that highlight the region’s open dykes and wide river vistas. Organised in Tangermünde, the event emphasises its setting near the UNESCO biosphere reserve and has earned recognition in regional marathon rankings. The 2026 edition is announced for 12 April and features a welcoming atmosphere supported by local partners and civic backing, including an official patron from the state government.
Runners can choose from multiple distances ranging from a children’s run to a marathon, making it a festival for all ages and abilities. Beyond race day, the programme typically includes community elements such as an opening ceremony, a runner’s devotion, city tours and photo services for finishers. With a strong local identity and scenic riverside paths, the event blends sporting challenge with cultural discovery in historic Tangermünde.
