GEROLSTEINER Helgoland Marathon (27th edition, 2026)

The GEROLSTEINER HELGOLAND-MARATHON (27th edition, 2026) is a compact island marathon weekend held on Helgoland, centred on the Musik-Pavillon (Landungsbrücke, Am Südstrand). The event combines a marathon, a Mini-Marathon and a newly introduced 10‑Meilen‑Lauf, each run on repeated laps of a 5.25 km circuit with on-course and finish catering. Race administration is handled locally by VfL Fosite Helgoland v. 1893 e.V., with bib collection on the Friday before the main race day and a scheduled awards party in the Nordseehalle. Entry includes race catering, a T‑shirt, a finisher medal and online results as stated in the Ausschreibung.

The weekend timetable shows organised athlete facilities and a spectator-friendly finish at Nordseeplatz, with the main race day programme on Saturday 9 May 2026. Start times published on the programme and in the Ausschreibung are Mini‑Marathon 09:00, Marathon 09:15 and 10‑Meilen‑Lauf 09:30, with finish windows extending into the afternoon for the marathon. The event emphasizes self-organised travel and accommodation given Helgoland's island location, and registration is processed via the official Raceresult link on the event website. The organiser and local volunteer team run prize-giving and an evening celebration following the races.
