Frankfurter Mainova Half Marathon

The 24. Frankfurter Mainova Halbmarathon is a classic spring half marathon on a flat, fast and precisely measured road course through the southern Stadtwald of Frankfurt am Main. Start takes place in front of Deutsche Bank Park with a memorable stadium finish inside the venue. Conducted under DLV regulations and AIMS‑measured, the race is best‑list eligible and attracts both elite athletes and mass‑participation runners. With chip timing integrated into the bib and clear kilometre marking, it is set up for accurate pacing and personal best attempts.

Two waves go off five minutes apart, with an Elitelauf at 10:00 followed by the Hauptlauf at 10:05, and pacers support a range of target times up to the 2:45 cut‑off. Participants benefit from well‑spaced on‑course aid stations and extensive finish refreshments, plus secure bag drop, changing and limited showers at the stadium. Public transport access is excellent and the start number serves as an RMV ticket for travel within the network on event day. The race counts towards the Rosbacher Main‑Lauf‑Cup 2026 and also features in the Frankfurt Hero combined ranking alongside Eschborn‑Frankfurt and Frankfurt City Triathlon.
