Schlossterrassen, Bad Alexandersbad
The Fichtelgebirgsmarathon returns on 04 July 2026, celebrating running in the heart of the Fichtelgebirge mountains. This volunteer‑run event offers three distances, inviting both newcomers and seasoned athletes to enjoy nature, altitude gain and a friendly atmosphere. With an emphasis on beautiful scenery and a family‑friendly tone, participants can expect a memorable day out in one of Germany’s most charming upland regions. Organised by club members of IfL‑Fichtelgebirge for over twenty years, it has a strong local spirit and welcoming community.
Based in Bad Alexandersbad, the routes are largely on firm forest and hiking trails and forest roads, showcasing panoramic viewpoints across the range. The marathon is notably challenging, featuring around 800 metres of climbing, while the half marathon and 10 km options provide accessible alternatives on similar terrain. Start and finish are planned at the Schlossterrassen in Bad Alexandersbad, making logistics straightforward for runners and supporters. Online registration is scheduled to open on 01 April 2026 via the official website, with full race‑day details to follow closer to the event.
