MHV - Nous dirigeons Hambourg
Head to Hamburg for a weekend, where the Hamburgers will gladly trade ferries ⛴️ for sneakers 👟 during the Hamburg Half-Marathon (PSD Bank Halbmarathon Hamburg)! After a summer of adventures ☀️, it's time to go back to school 👨🏫. The beautiful German city opens to the world 🌍 in the month of September for a unique sporting challenge, in the port city largest in Germany! 🇩🇪 The event also offers a race for the kids! 👧
Want to know more about the course? 🤔 Hold on, we'll give you a recap! ➡️ The Hamburg Half-Marathon is rather known for its flat and fast course ⚡️, beneficial right? If you want to aim for the PR, it's perfect 🏃♀️. During the race, you will cross iconic neighborhoods of the metropolis, like Wandsbek or Rahlstedt. Be sure to open your eyes 👀 to admire the few beautiful monuments of the city, such as the Michaeliskirche, the most famous baroque church in Hamburg, with a tower offering breathtaking views over the entire city 🏙️, or the Speicherstadt, the largest group of red brick warehouses in the world 🧱, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Not everyone can be Hamburg... With its 2,500 bridges 🌉, Hamburg ranks as the city with the most bridges in Europe (more than those of London and Venice combined 😲). By the way, fun fact: the German city boasts 14% green spaces which is roughly equivalent to 14,000 soccer fields in total! Impressive ⚽️. Believe me, this is not negligible if you want to catch your breath after those 21 km of madness awaiting you 😮💨.
Speaking of catching your breath, why not enjoy yourself after the race? 🥰 Quench your thirst with a Fritz Kola (the delicious German Cola) 🥤, grab a pretzel 🥨 at the finish line and go wandering in this beautiful cosmopolitan city 🤩. One of the best ways to discover Hamburg is from the water ⛴️, surprising! Indeed, several cruise routes exist to visit the metropolis ☝️. Still on the water theme, there is even a lake in the city center: the Alster 💧. A rather peaceful city spot loved by runners with its 7.5 km loop, perfect for Sunday jogs 🏃.
So, ready to take the plunge in the land of Hansel & Gretel? 💦 Don't be afraid to get wet and embark on this half-marathon in Hamburg 🇩🇪.
