Klingenthal Salzkotten Marathon 2026

The Klingenthal Salzkotten Marathon returns on the weekend of 6–7 June 2026, centred on Innenstadt Salzkotten and Verne. The programme includes a full marathon, half marathon, 10 km and 5 km on a compact looped course with staged starts that keep participants flowing and encountering each other repeatedly. Registration opened on 11 November 2025 via the official website; further participant information, course details and services are provided on linked pages.

Race logistics include measured distances, a pacemaker/pacer team for common target times, multiple aid stations, a large post‑race refreshment and chillout zone near the Salzkotten Saline, and a popular Pasta Party on the market square. The weekend features a race village with bib collection, massage and first‑aid provision. Family appeal is strong: Bambini runs are held on Saturday afternoon (without timing) and draw many children each year.

The event has a warm, community-driven atmosphere with many local clubs and residents volunteering across the weekend. All surpluses from the race weekend are channelled into youth work in local sports clubs; Bürgerstiftung Salzkotten has been announced as the 2026 charity partner. Participants are advised to consult the official infos pages close to the event for final start locations, maps and any late updates.
