Stadtwerke Lübeck Marathon 2026

The Stadtwerke Lübeck Marathon 2026 is a city-centre running festival held in Lübeck on 18 October 2026, organised by Turn- und Sportbund der Hansestadt Lübeck e. V. with title sponsorship by Stadtwerke Lübeck. The race programme spans a full marathon, half marathon, shorter road races, duo and relay formats, handbike and school races, and combines Lübeck’s UNESCO-listed old town with a coastal leg to Travemünde including the distinctive Herrentunnel (a tunnel section beneath the harbour).

Participant services include electronic timing, professional race photography, multiple aid stations and partner-provided on-course nutrition, personalised bib-name customisation (when registered by the stated deadline) and medal engraving options (early registration). Practical information, registration, the athlete guide (Ausschreibung), partner listings and results are published on the official event hub at https://swhl-marathon.de/.

Race day logistics: common start and finish zones around the Rathaus (Kohlmarkt start; Breite Straße finish), shared competition-day schedule across distances and a published finish cut-off of 16:15 for all distances. The event also runs charity and community elements such as the Lauf gegen Krebs donation option, and operates a volunteer programme with small compensation.
