17th Klingenthal Salzkotten Marathon

The 17. Klingenthal Salzkotten Marathon is a multi-distance running weekend centred in Salzkotten, Germany, with main races on Sunday 7 June 2026 and Bambini events on Saturday 6 June 2026. The programme groups multiple distances under one brand, from children's Bambini races through 5 km and 10 km events up to the full 42.195 km Klingenthal-Marathon. The weekend includes a pasta party, community programme and finish-area chillout near the Sälzer-Gradierwerk; organisers describe the courses as flat and fast in places, spectator-friendly and suitable for a wide range of abilities.

The event emphasises community and charity: organisers state that surplus funds support youth work and local clubs, and the 2026 charity partner is named as Bürgerstiftung Salzkotten. The 5 km and 10 km races include a dedicated Special Olympics scoring category. Participants are advised to consult the organiser's website for final start times, detailed course maps and further logistical information; registration for the 17th edition opened on 11 November 2025.
