Blaufränkischland Marathon - Marathon (42 km)

The Blaufränkischland Marathon takes you on a 42-kilometer route, starting in the red-wine-producing town of Deutschkreutz and passing through the wine-growing villages of Neckenmarkt, Horitschon, Unterpetersdorf, and Girm—a district of Deutschkreutz—before returning to the start/finish area in the school park of MS Deutschkreutz. Along the way, you’ll be surprised by the highly varied landscape—partly flat, partly hilly, and featuring some challenging climbs—with fantastic views.

At numerous refreshment stations along the marathon route, you’ll have the opportunity to taste the excellent wines from local winemakers and enjoy regional delicacies and specialties. Mineral water, still water, and grape juice are also available. Most of the tasting stations are located at wineries in the respective local areas; many of them feature charming courtyards, elegant tasting rooms, or beautiful terraces with scenic views. Some tasting stations are also situated in the middle of the vineyards in picturesque locations. Don’t miss the chance to take a short break here with a good glass of wine!

On the longer stretches between towns, additional traditional refreshment stations will provide you with still water and sports drinks, ensuring that everyone—from those chasing personal bests to fun-runners and leisure runners—gets their money’s worth at the Blaufränkischland Marathon!
