The 24. EVL‑HalbMarathon brings a festive running day to Leverkusen with a multi‑distance programme centred on Bismarckstraße between the Ostermann‑Arena and the BayArena. Runners experience an urban route that showcases the city’s sporting heart, including a memorable passage right through the BayArena. The course also features the Sauerberg hill segment, adding a lively challenge to otherwise fast, road‑friendly kilometres.
Alongside the signature half marathon, the event typically offers the EVL‑10er, a 5 km run, and popular Bambini races to welcome young participants. The organiser highlights strong community support, partner backing, and a vibrant atmosphere that rewards both first‑timers and seasoned athletes. Official merchandise and a dedicated podcast provide extra motivation and insights in the lead‑up to race day.
Start and finish are located on Bismarckstraße, creating a compact race hub with easy access to local landmarks. While registration opens in mid‑December 2025, detailed schedules and operational specifics are announced on the official website closer to the event. Participants can review route information via links from the organiser, including a Komoot map, and follow updates for the latest guidance.
