27th GEROLSTEINER Helgoland-Marathon

The 27th GEROLSTEINER Helgoland-Marathon is a distinctive island road race held on Helgoland and marketed under the Gerolsteiner sponsorship. The event is known for its compact looped course around the western part of the island, running on paved roads and passing the island landmark Lange Anna, giving competitors repeated scenic views of the North Sea. The race weekend includes several distances, with on-site travel and accommodation information provided on the official site to help visitors plan their trip.

For 2026 the organiser VfL Fosite Helgoland v. 1893 e.V. operates online registration and the official registration portal lists separate fields for Marathon, Mini‑Marathon and a 10‑Meilen‑Lauf. The event emphasises its small‑island character and limited fields for some distances, making it popular with runners seeking a compact, atmospheric road marathon experience. Practical details such as start times, registration windows and eligibility are published on the official registration page and the event’s Ausschreibung.
