43rd schauinsland-reisen Rhein‑Ruhr Marathon

The 43. schauinsland-reisen Rhein‑Ruhr‑Marathon takes place in Duisburg on 10 May 2026 and is presented with title sponsorship by schauinsland‑reisen. The race finishes inside the Schauinsland‑Reisen‑Arena, offering a stadium finish and a festival‑style finish area. The event is organised by Stadtsportbund Duisburg with a long tradition in the city and a partnership with local partners and timing provider Mika Timing. This edition continues to present multiple race formats and an emphasis on a fast, flat course for personal best attempts.

The course is largely asphalted and described by the organiser as flat and fast, running through Duisburg with kilometre signage and a finish ceremony in the arena. Race formats include the full marathon, half marathon, a four‑person half‑marathon relay and further classes such as inline and handbike races, and the event offers a pre‑race expo and a lively atmosphere in the finish area. Timing is operated by Mika Timing using disposable transponders attached to bibs and there are organised aid stations and finish services for participants. Practical details including registration, pricing tiers and packet pick‑up are published on the official event site and the event's registration portal.
