Monschau Marathon – run in nature

The Monschau Marathon – run in nature is a multi-distance race weekend held in the Eifel around Monschau-Konzen, presented by TV Konzen 1922 e.V. The event combines long-distance trail running, shorter road and trail options, walking and family races, and a lively race village. The organiser describes the weekend with the spirit “Laufen im Herzen der Eifel” and positions the Monschau Marathon as a community-focused, scenic sporting experience. Routes run across asphalt, forest paths and through the historic old town of Monschau, offering varied terrain for participants of different abilities.

The three-day format (7–9 August 2026) includes Saturday family, walking and bike activities plus Sunday long-distance starts for the Ultras and Marathon events. On-site services include a race village with catering, a pasta party, medical support, timing with a transponder in the race number, finish-area services and prize ceremonies at the Dorfplatz. The weekend emphasises a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere while providing competitive options (Ultra K70/K56, Marathon, relay) and non-competitive choices (Genuss-Marathon, walks, children’s races). Entrants are directed to the official website and the event registration portal for detailed athlete information and the full schedule.
