The VVO Oberelbe‑Marathon leads runners along the picturesque banks of the River Elbe through Saxon Switzerland and into the cultural heart of Dresden. Celebrating its 27th edition in 2026, the event is renowned for its varied scenery, fast riverside paths and welcoming atmosphere. With multiple distances on the same day, it offers an inclusive programme for committed marathoners, first‑timers and families alike. The course tradition and thorough organisation create a smooth race experience supported by local communities.
Highlights include a historic paddle‑wheel steamboat accompanying the marathon field for friends and supporters, as well as a dedicated runner expo and on‑site services. The programme spans the marathon, half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, a 2.7 km minimarathon and a Bambini run for the youngest participants. Official merchandising and a professional photo service are available, and the organiser provides practical travel and accommodation guidance. Multilingual race information and clear pre‑event communications help international entrants plan and enjoy their race weekend.
