31st Johannesbad Thermal Marathon 2026

The 31. Johannesbad Thermen‑Marathon 2026 returns to Bad Füssing with its hallmark combination of racing and recovery, encapsulated by the motto “LAUFEN – ERHOLEN – THERMALBADEN”. Runners can choose from the marathon, half marathon, and 10 km on fast, asphalted roads through quiet, picturesque Bavarian villages. The event is renowned for its friendly, well‑organised atmosphere in Europe’s largest spa resort and its dependable early‑February scheduling. Aid stations support participants at regular intervals to help them maintain pace and comfort throughout the race.

Courses are loop‑based, with the half marathon covering one full circuit and the marathon completing it twice, while the 10 km uses a southern loop. The terrain is paved and low‑traffic, lending itself to consistent pacing and potential personal bests even in winter. A standout benefit is the complimentary post‑race access to the Johannesbad Therme for all participants, offering a restorative soak after the effort. Clear guidance on start times, bib collection and timekeeping is provided across the organiser’s dedicated information pages.
