ERZTALER Marathon

The ERZTALER Marathon is organised by Radteam Tharandter Wald and is scheduled for Saturday 6 June 2026. The event uses a start window between 07:00 and 08:00 and begins at the Grundschule (Kurort Hartha) in Tharandt (F.-Schiller-Str., 01737 Tharandt OT Kurort Hartha).

Two very long road cycling route options are offered—200 km and 230 km—through the Tharandter Wald. The courses are described as fully signposted ("Streckenführung komplett ausgeschildert") and distinctly hilly/mountainous: approximate ascent figures are ~2,700 m for the 200 km route and ~3,300 m for the 230 km route. The listing shows the RMCD/V designation used by the organiser and regional calendar and includes the event number (Veranst.-Nr. 4124). These routes are intended for experienced riders prepared for sustained climbing.

Practical details such as registration fees, aid stations, finish-line services and GPX/route files are not provided on the listing; participants should consult the organiser's website or contact the organiser directly for those items. The organiser page also provides a five-day weather forecast and primary contact details (Bernd Militzer).
