Weser-Elbe Ride Marathon 2026

The Weser-Elbe-Radmarathon (Weser-Elbe-Radmarathon 2026) is a single-day long-distance road cycling event based in Buxtehude with start and finish at the Sporthalle im Schulzentrum Süd. The event uses a control-card checkpoint system with multiple staffed controls along the route and a complimentary ferry crossing at Brobergen that operates during the event day. Riders may join a guided group option aimed at faster averages (around 25–27 km/h), and the organiser emphasises that route signage takes precedence over any GPS track.

Participant services include on-course refreshments at control points, food and stalls at the finish, shower and changing facilities at the venue until the control closing, and limited on-site parking suitable for cars and caravans. Safety rules and logistics are published on the official information pages: helmets are mandatory, start numbers are not required, and the control card also serves as the ferry pass. Registration options include pre-registration and on-the-day entry with stated fees and stated refund conditions in the organiser's information pages.
